Need Advice: Speedster replicas by Euromasters Classic Cars with Vintage Speedsters

Sounds like it was built by Vintage Speedster in Hawaiian Gardens California if it was built in 2011. Long story, but yes, that entity is out of business, but that isn't a reflection of what they built.  I own one and they are good cars coming from the builders Factory. I personally wouldn't touch this without a PPI and as much history as I could get.

Euromasters Classic Cars in Fountain Valley is defunct. The owner was accused of selling cars he didn't own.

Buyer beware on this! Has the earmarks of a scam.

Thanks for the reply....it's NOT a scam....I will heed your advice regarding the PPI though. Also, do you have an opinion of value? (Assuming it checks)

Let us know the particulars. Engine size, transmission, suspension wheels and tires, extras, etc.

You'll get some answers.

Here is a link to an article from 2012 about a company named EuroMasters Classic Cars.   My apologies if dated and not reflective of a current enterprise using the the same name.  But…do lots of research and proceed with caution.

Hello Guys,

Seeking information about a 1957 replica speedster built by Euromasters Classic Cars in collaboration with Vintage Speedsters. Thing is, I don't know much about the builder. Are they still in business? From my research it appear the answer is NO. Apparently the car was built in 2011. I'm hoping members can shed some light on the builder and how well their cars are revered by the community. I have the build sheet and the VIN. Here is a picture of it. Thoughts on value?

Well, since you’re telling us this is “NOT a scam” , I can only assume that you have already bought it and are now wondering what you’ve bought.  

As for Euromasters Classic Cars, by now you must also know that this guy (and potentially, his partner) in the past was a scam artist like a few others we’ve seen and to be avoided - At least he got caught and incarcerated.  Is it under new ownership? Is the new owner running a legit shop?  Is it still a scam as it once was?  

Given the past history of Euromasters Classic Cars, I can’t understand why a new owner wouldn’t change the name to escape the past history.  None of us really know much about the company without doing a lengthy internet search and for us, why bother?  None of us would buy there.

As for the car, what we’ve seen and heard about in the past is that these guys never really “built” a car as much as getting the finished basic model from Vintage Speedsters in Hawaiian Gardens and then upgraded with a few flashy accessories and/or a nice interior to turn it around quickly for a fast profit.  

Your car is the first one from Euromasters etc. that I’ve heard about on this site in 21 years as a member.  That should tell you something.  If you give us the specs Bob asked for above, we can try to asses a market value if it is running and in good shape.  

Hope this helps.

Let me be clear......The car is offered through a private party NOT Euromasters...

There was a link to the FB Marketplace page here, which had some other things I was hoping to bookmark and perhaps think about. Does anybody have a link?
