Please Help! Anyone dealt with Texas Toys? Has anyone on here dealt with a place called Texas Toys? I am seeing that they do a lot of business with sports cars and I was thinking of buying an LS1 from them but their whole setup looks a bit fishy. Some of the cars on their website have noticeable damage and others that are listed as WS6's and SS's are really not what they are portrayed as on their descriptions. They have a black SS that is said to be a 35th Anniversary edition SS with the racing stripes but the car has 98-99 V6 camaro wheels. Any info would be appreciated. This is the website: www.texastoys.com

Although the DO advertise fake WS-6's such as this one,

Most of their phony looking SS's and WS-6's are actually rebuilt salvage vehicles.

They don't rebuild these salvage cars with the correct parts, and don't mention that it is a salvage car except for one line hidden in the description.

Appears to be left off entirely on the listings on their website (where they don't have to worry about ebay's rules), but on the ebay listing it says "This beauty has some title challenges with a reconditioned title".
