What Really Happened to Wayne Carini From Chasing Classic Cars

Описание: What Really Happened to Wayne Carini From Chasing Classic Cars

For over a decade, Wayne Carini was the golden boy of automotive television. His smooth Connecticut accent guided millions through barn finds and million-dollar restorations.
Then suddenly, the cameras stopped rolling. New episodes vanished. And the questions started piling up like rust on a forgotten classic.
The man who built an empire chasing automotive legends found himself running from controversies that would make any collector think twice.
What really happened wasn't about ratings or network decisions—it was about lawsuits, betrayals, and accusations that shattered everything fans believed about their favorite car guy.

The first crack in Wayne's polished reputation appeared in court documents that read like a classic car thriller gone wrong.
In 2020, Australian collector Robert Richmond dragged Wayne's companies into a brutal legal battle over a rare 1934 Pierce-Arrow coupe.
The story started in 2010 when Richmond paid nearly $100,000 for the vintage beauty, expecting it shipped to Australia.

Instead, the car vanished into a nightmare web of bankruptcy, shady dealers, and forged documents that would haunt Wayne for years.

The middleman, Gary Dicso, was supposed to restore and ship the Pierce-Arrow but instead filed for bankruptcy while secretly selling Richmond's car to Gullwing Motors.
Wayne entered this disaster in 2017, hired to appraise what he thought was a legitimate sale. He valued the car between $100,000 and $120,000, then bought it himself for $110,000, believing every piece of paperwork was legit. Big mistake.
When Richmond's lawyers came calling, Wayne discovered he'd purchased stolen property without knowing it.
