<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\u201cI deeply regret that you lost money,\u201d said Phelps, according to Mike DeForest at WKMG Click Orlando. \u201cIt was simply a business plan I could not make work.\u201d However, many of Phelp\u2019s customers would argue otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FSD (Father, Son, Daughter) Hot Rod Ranch bought and sold hot rods <\/a>and classic cars but many of its customers either failed to get their money or didn\u2019t receive the car they bought. At least one customer received a fraudulent title, leaving them in debt to the bank for the car but unable to legally register and drive it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the Zoom session, Utah native Brett Pace asked Phelps about the $28,000 he was owed. In 2022, Pace agreed to sell Phelps his 1972 GMC Sierra <\/a>and shipped the truck to FSD in Florida. Phelps was supposed to pay Pace the $28,000 within 90 days, under a delayed payment agreement, but never did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI sincerely apologize for that,\u201d said Phelps. \u201cBullshit,\u201d Pace replied, seemingly unaccepting of the apology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Debra Meyers claimed to have bought a 1931 Ford <\/a>Model A Phaeton replica with her late fianc\u00e9 from FSD for $25,000. After her fianc\u00e9 died, she realized that she never received a title for the car. So now she owes the bank but can\u2019t legally drive it. It seems Phelps never gave Meyers the title because he doesn\u2019t have it. Another creditor, Jim McMillan, interrupted to tell Meyers that he still has the title for the \u201931 Ford since Phelps still owes him $17,000 for the car. According to Florida state law<\/a>, it\u2019s illegal to sell a vehicle without having possession of its title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
