Has anyone done business with Tom Woodford on The Samba website/forum? I was looking to purchase his set of factory service manuals and parts catalogues. I made him an offer to sell the service manuals and the parts catalogues separate from the other books he listed. All I did was ask him for more current photos that what he had up on the website to show proof of them still being around the photos on the ad showed 2018. His response was less than professional to me. Just wondering if others had similar experiences with this person. I just didn't want to get scammed by someone especially for the amount that I offered.

Tom sold me a vin swapped car back in the 80’s when he owned a Porsche shop in Tabernacle NJ. Caranza racing and restoration. Many stories came from that shop. Customer cars disappearing but then seen on midnight runs. Buildings burning down for insurance money, etc. If you do buy from him, be careful about sending money and hoping you get the product.

I've decided against buying from him after the scathing response email that he sent me. I'd rather not deal with someone that goes off their rocker when all I asked for was current photos of what they are selling. According to his samba profile he's in AZ now. |

Yea, he fled NJ decades ago. Cozied up to Wayne Dempsey for a while and sold him the red stripe 914-6gt that he obtained under suspicious circumstances. |
