356 A Coupe Replicas

the green coupe in one of the photos looks very familiar...

Yup. We're all very familiar with that car, and KNOW where it was made. That immediately makes this fellow's business seem a bit shady.

Robert, get a life and get the hell of our website.

What Hoss said. First post and you already blew it.

Photos of the now famous green coupe, along with your post, more than imply that it is a product of your company. We know it isn't, which calls into question everything else on your site.

Do you really think you could pull that and not get called on it? Really?

It is actually illegal to post a picture on website of a vehicle that you have built or have for sale when it wasn't you who built it.

I forget the legal term for this, a replica maker in Texas got busted for this pretty hard a few years ago.

Maybe the term is bullshit. Can't remember for sure.

Mr. Willson? If you are a legitimate businessman providing a good product, available in the US with no "nigerian funny games" etc., attached, then I will be the first to apologize to you. But when you post three times on this site, with no defineable items in the United States, using what is a picture of a car we are all most painfully acquainted with, then we have great suspicions as to your intentions.

Please feel free to provide information to the contrary, that you are indeed a legitimate businessman with a real product so that I may publicly apologize. In the meantime, I'm going to keep cheering for the good people in this country who are still in the speedster business, making cars, taking care of customers and putting AMERICANS to work.

Bullshit works. Perhaps not techically correct, but conveys the message effectively.

I know your all thinking that the green coupe is a JPS creation,but if you compare the pictures of the two green coupes,you will see that they are NOT the same. Look closely the Panache green coupe is RHD! How about we give this guy the benefit of the doubt,and some helpful guidance as to how to correctly post his business. We would welcome this guy if he posted that he just bought a new Speedster. Obviously he does not know yet what the correct SOC protocal is! Extend to him the same openess that you would to anyone else joining the "madness"!

Gotta disagree with you, Allan. It's just a couple of clicks to flip a photo, and you can compare it to the picture on the JPS site. The background is identical (but flipped), and the wipers now point in the opposite direction (flipped). The only difference is that the picture on the Panache site was taken before the hood straps and driving lights were installed. Trying to sell your work with pictures of someone else's is not going to generate trust.

Actually I believe the picture of the green hornet is photoshopped to be in reverse and look RHD. Look at the parking lot, same parking block, same yellow lines, and more telling, same reflection of the buildings in the door!!!!! Looks like some accessories have been photoshopped off the car, but take a look at the hornet pics on JPS website and you will see the mirror image of a LOT of tells. Likewise several of the other pictures are stolen from the internet and are of ORIGINAL cars.

Yeah, what Lane said but I am a damn slooooow typist...

I did a quick check of past posts of this guy and he was trying to sell off an ENVEMO as one of only 43 produced.

You guys know more than I regarding this.I can see that with creative editing that the green coupe that he has posted could be the JPS.I guess that I was looking through rose colored glasses again!

Allan--your kind nature is shining through---good for you.

Now get back to work and find me that shirt!!!

(Thanks)

And Carey---you are some detective. What a thorough analysis of the photo and the "tells" you found to show it was the JPS car, which is certainly is. A busted scammer bites the dust. Damned impressive to me, my friend!

Actually a second scammer is also busted, but I'm not quite sure how to broach that subject. I will tell you that it is HILARIOUS!

question, if the JPS pics have the hood straps and his pic does not how did he get those pics before the car was completed?

Gerd, you ignorant slut...anything can be photo-shopped...

Just look at Obama's birth certificate......

I'm going to order one of these once my money comes in from Nigeria.

I could remove those straps in photoshop. Give me two mins. I am a vfx artist in L.A. and for car commercials they will only shoot one model. Them I digital change them to look like the other models. IE. change rims, add ground effects. And I do this for video footage, not just a picture.

Gee, South Africa is close. Easy to check on the build, examine the quality and make subtle changes as you move through the process. I am feeling better about this all the time.

Oh, and Nick, if I send you a pic can you make me taller, thinner and better looking? Then make it true in real life. I could use the help.
I think I need one of those avatars or whatever you call them.

I think the word will spread that when scammers play the "big room" at SOC, it can be a tough crowd.

The photos of the Green Coupe on the Panache website are pictures I took for John Steele, and were for his exclusive use.
They were obviously "borrowed" from the JPS website and photoshopped to make the car appear as RHD.
As a photographer, it's hard to catch people using your photos (especially those posted online) without your permission...unless they're ignorant enough to promote their stupidity so blatantly.
Just amazing.

Mr. Willison, this doesn't appear to be going well for you!
