      Agree with everyone on here…..they are great to work with until they receive your money wire. I purchased a 52 Chevy 3100 and once it arrived wouldn’t run and they took it back to fix it. A couple weeks later they delivered it again and you couldn’t even shift this vehicle. Steve ****** told me to keep it a few weeks and told me to just “force” the shift on the column. Thankfully I asked him to take it back and he readily agreed to take the truck and return my $54,000. That’s where suddenly nobody responded to my calls, texts, emails for almost 6 months. When I was lucky enough to get someone to answer which was usually by accident, I received the same old promise that the check was in the mail. After about 3 of these lies, I reached out to a lawyer then I actually received an email with a “picture of the check”. That check was Fed-ex to me and placed into my bank account on Friday and to add insult the bank called me on Monday morning to inform me that the check was invalid and I was charged $25 for his bounced check. After pursuing legal action finally received a check but from start to end was an 11 month nightmare. My recommendation that if you have any dealings with Steve ****** that you turn and run as quickly as you can, he’s a liar, thief and absolutely zero integrity.

      I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, I purchased a car from them in Nov of 2022 and eventually, after many phone calls I received the car and the title, but the pictures they showed of it were photo shopped and I've had to put over $10,000.00 into it to bring it up to the shape I thought it was in when I bought it. I did contact them and was told the "owner would reach out to me" which obviously didn't happen. hopefully, those of you that are working with lawyers will get some satisfaction.

      7 months of absolute hell. Paid i48k in full by wire in December 2022 for a 1954 Ford pickup. Not delivered to me (local delivery) until end of January 2023 WITHOUT TITLE. Temporary tag issued by FSD had expired by end of February. I called repeatedly and got nothing but runaround from Loreanna and Charlene. I was told “don’t worry” we are “working on title paperwork” and “the state of Florida is running behind in processing.” Finally went to DMV in March 2023 and found out no title paperwork ever had been submitted. I immediately called FSD - more promises and assurance, but no action. Could not drive the truck without a tag, so it sat in my garage. - a $48,000 paperweight . Two more months of excuses, false promises by the staff and I still had nothing. Another check with DMV showed no title paperwork submitted. Finally got FSD owner, Steve, on the phone in May, five months+ after I bought the truck. He finally admitted that he never had the title and that there was an unresolved lien on the truck in Arizona. He took my money in December, never had title, and could not deliver title to me. He also admitted all the assurances I had been given for months had been false. He agreed to repay me in full, but that dragged on for weeks. Small partial payments, missed deadlines, wasted trips to his office to pick up a check that wasn’t there. Exasperated and preparing for a lawsuit, I finally received the last of the money in July 2023. Once it cleared my bank, he sent someone to pick up the truck - one guy with a trailer and a broken winch. It took almost 2 hours for him to get the truck off my property because it would no longer start (I had warned him because it had been sitting idle). This was a MISERABLE experience and the worst combination of every bad thing you could ever imagine from a car dealer. Killed my 20-year dream of ever wanting an antique truck.

      This company and the people associated with it, Steve ******, Steve *******, Charlene and Loreanna are nothing but liars and scam artist. After making a deal via phone I had numerous calls, texts and emails regarding payment. Once payment was received they have pretty much ghosted me. Don’t return calls, emails or texts. On the rare occasion that I get to talk with someone, either they don’t know anything or promise things that never happen. Was told title would be mailed to me. Haven’t received it. Was told vehicle would be delivered to me. Don’t have it. They have had my money since April yet here the middle of September I have no vehicle nor title for it even though have asked for both and been promised both. Yet Steve ****** has the time and money to travel around with his girl friend Beth Sobol. Do not have any dealings with these people, they have no scruples, will lie and say whatever they think will pacify you. I guess I am being forced to take legal action. This company is a disgrace and gives a bad name to other legitimate businesses in the classic/hot Rod market.

      BUYERS BEWARE!!! I PURCHASED A 68 C10 from this family 3 months ago. I was told this was a complete remodel and that they (Steve & Loreanna) assured me that they had the pink slip in hand. I received the truck over a month later with absolutely no paperwork. When I had the truck inspected we found multiple cracks on the frame, transmission was leaking, multiple drips on the crappie paint and over 2 dozen dangling bolts without nuts on the bed and front fenders. I called Loreanna but never answered once my wire cleared. I called Steve for weeks till he accidentally answered my call. I tried sending the truck back but instead agreed to pay half of the repairs. Steve assured me that he’d wire me his half and over 2 months later still no wire. UNFORTUNATELY THIS WHOLE FAMILY IS INCAPABLE OF CONDUCTING GOOD BUSINESS OR TELLING THE TRUTH. TAKE YOUR MONEY ANYWHERE ELSE BUT TO THIS FAMILY OF LIARS!!

      I purchased a vehicle from FSD Hot Rod Ranch 2 months ago. They will not answer my request for the title, antique plate and final registration document.

      I have discovered that FSD Hot Rod Ranch has not paid the owner of the vehicle that I paid in full to FSD Hot Rod Ranch 2 months ago in May 2023.

      The owner has now contacted a lawyer and is filing a lawsuit against FSD Hot Rod Ranch. It looks like I will be forced to do the same.

      Do not have any business dealings with these perpetual liars. They are slick talking car sales frauds. If you do business with them you will be sorry.BUYER/SELLER BEWARE!
