Hi, Olin --

Sorry as can be to hear of your experience; in the worst case, just 
grimace and chalk up that $3K difference to "tuition."

You'll want to check SC law, of course, but here in Georgia, the owner 
could verbally represent that the car had just had a ground-up 
restoration by the factory, and there wouldn't be {much,anything} you 
could do about it.  Do you have anything in writing?

I hope that you can take some comfort in the fact that your experience 
may save others from a similar or worse loss.

Best regards,
