It was late 1990 after the ZR-1 bubble had popped so every dealership was itching to get their ZR-1's off the lot. So, against Bill Stasek's better judgement, he called the Porsche dealership in Arkansas and asked about the car he drove up in. The Porsche dealership said the car was all paid for. He had pay stubs and income tax returns so everything looked fine.

So, they went ahead with the deal. A day after the guy drove off with the Z, the Porsche dealership called Stasek and said "I really hope you didn't finish that deal on the ZR-1 because that guy's check just bounced!"

After about a month, they found the Z sitting in a train station parking lot safe and sound despite all of the worry. It turns out that they caught the guy after he did the same thing to a Ford dealership after he "bought" a Ford Bronco using the same tactics...

That's the story I remember Bill telling me.
