Home » Who is Gary
Pronman?
|
What I've
learned (the hard way):
Gary Pronman
professes to be a Mopar expert and bills himself as a classic car broker. In my business
relationship with him,
Gary operated under his own name and indicated he had a
Florida-based company called GP Musclecars.
» When he and his brother Dan defrauded me of $84,000,
they did so, in part, by using their Canadian company called Movie Star
Muscle Cars;
» Gary would
often attempt to add-in a hidden profit on top of the 'brokerage
fee' he was charging me. One such example would be a red '69 Boss 429
he offered me for $225,000 which had
already been offered to me for $215,000 three days earlier by
another broker. So much for transparency;
» Gary will do
anything to make a buck. He knowingly misrepresented a LeMans Blue 1969 Camaro L78 RS convertible.
He had been told by the previous owner that it was a rebody, yet he told me it was
authentic;
» Gary
personally told me that he has re-stamped at least one Hemi engine to make an
E-body Mopar more valuable.

His Future? |
As his victim, my
research taught me:
» I'm not the first person to
litigate with the Pronman brothers. Bill Ockerlund, Jurgen Stanley and Wade Ogle
are a few other collectors that have had serious problems the Pronmans and/or
their company Movie Star Muscle Cars. I'm sure
there are many more!
» Gary appears
to own only two assets -- his home in Coral Springs, FL and the
condo which he co-owns with his brother Dan -- but not for long
- as of April 2010 they are both being foreclosed upon.
» Gary is actually the
President, director and 50% shareholder of Movie Star Muscle Cars. The
other 50% shareholder is his brother
Dan Pronman, and the company is
registered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada;
» Contradictory to Gary's business
card and Facebook page, the entity "GP Musclecars"
doesn't exist and
doesn't appear to have ever existed in any state or country;
» Gary will
only claim he's a Canadian citizen when suit is brought against
him in the USA even though his Broward County arrest
records state he was born in New York (natural-born US citizen),
and Gary has
declared his domicile in Broward County Florida since July 1994
to garner the benefit of reduced property taxes here in Florida;
» Movie Star Muscle Cars
operates out of Florida, transacts business within the state of
Florida, and sells automobiles to Florida residents. Unfortunately, the company
has failed to obtain a dealer's license from the Florida DMV, has never obtained
the proper city and county occupational licenses, and has not filed a fictitious
name (d/b/a) nor is it incorporated in the state of Florida. Not only is the illegal, but it also contradicts
the information found on their
website and
business card specifically
listing Coral Springs as an office address;
» Quebec, Canada is apparently the fraud capitol of North
America (according to the police, and attorneys I have spoken to).
In fact, when I filed a report with the Montreal police, they told me it would
be approximately 10-12 months just to have it reviewed by an investigator
because they were so backlogged with other fraud cases;
» The Pronmans have carefully crafted
their little scam; they live in Florida, operate their business out of Florida, maintain a
business incorporated in Canada, fabricate
bogus invoices to offset your purchase and then try to prevent your case from
ever getting its fair day in court by using jurisdiction, venue and
international treaty law as their
arguments to delay the case inevitably;
»
I'm not the first person to litigate with the Pronman bothers or their company.
Jurgen Stanley and Wade Ogle are at least two other car collectors that have been in
court with the Pronmans. I'm sure there are many more!
» Gary is no stranger to the inside of
a jail cell. Searching Broward and Palm Beach county public records
revealed that Gary was arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
four times (one of which was a felony, and one which caused an injury
accident); driving on a suspended license, using fake ID, and possession of
Cocaine.
» Gary, along with his
brother Dan are now trying to earn a living as real estate
sales associates for the Keyes company (where Dan's brother in law,
Brian Zand, also works). When you take
advantage of enough people in one industry and word gets out, I suspect
you have no choice but to find employment in a completely different
industry with a whole new pool of potential victims.
