A
reader pointed out to us today that Mark Liszka/Exotic Enterprises
is still running ads in the kit car magazines. His ad reads "easy
build," 14 different Countach (sic)", "over 24
exotic rebodies," "easy build bolt-on kits," "Limo
kits," "kits in stock," Deal with the best!",
"High-quality kits." Sigh. His ad also lists "www.exotic-enterprises.com"
as their web address. Don't waste your time keyboarding it in.
You'll get a dialog box that reads "The specified server
cannot be found." Sigh.

EE
customer/victim Mike Quercia informed us today that Carlisle
(Pennsylvania) police hauled Mark Liszka away from his display
booth... in handcuffs... at the Carlisle Kit Car Nationals
show in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Seems that Mr. Quercia had
a (Port Carbon, Pennsylvania) civil judgement against Liszka/Exotic
Enterprises, which Liszka had ignored. In fact, Liszka hadn't
even shown up at the court hearing.
For
several years we've received a steady stream of serious complaints
about this advertiser (in the kit car magazines) of exoticar
replicas (incidentally, it should come as no surprise that those
magazines have received the very same complaints we have... and
they continue to lunge for EE's advertising dollars... and, as
usual, provide no warning at all to you, their reader). The complaints
run the gamut of allegations about poor fiberglass quality, unkept
promises, delays and refusals to refund payment for (allegedly)
shoddy merchandise, and more. We've confirmed (and photographed)
for ourselves some of the allegations of shoddy fiberglass quality.
We'll provide you with a few updated details of those complaints
when time permits.
Below:
photographic evidence of some of the product-quality complaints
we've received from Exotic Enterprises customers.

EE's
"World Headquarters"
For
a while, EE's Mark Liszka used this photograph to represent his
big, "world headquarters." Sigh. This is just the clever
use of Adobe Photoshop to superimpose the word "Exotic"
on some random photo of another business enterprise. EE's "world
headquarters" is/was a cramped and grimy garage behind Liszka's
house.

Win
A FREE Exotic (Enterprises) kit
We
spotted this "Win a FREE (Exotic Enterprises) Kit"
sandwich board at the firm's booth at the 1997 Kit Car Nationals
show in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Make sure you ask them who the
winner of the kit was, and how you can get in touch with the
him (or her) so you can congratulate the lucky chap!
