..and it didn't bother me one bit.
Since it got cold as fuck today in GA, I think I'll lay on my heated bed, watch Letterkenny and see how much money I can cost him.
AKA save people from being scammed.
The hard part is picking out which google search to post. There's soooooooo many!
Probable cost me some money in the short run, but I don't care. I do my stuff for fun.

How do we know it isn't true ? :chin: :atbeer: :cool;

You meanie, Earl! :icon_lol:

wasn't castle one of the ones chased off the boards (tbs) years ago for some shady shit? if so, surprised he popped up again
-
Many times
-
Many, many, MANY times. The buick boards, the G-body boards, the Monte Carslow boards, the Kane county Il court system for multiple counts of credit card fraud.....
first he was ''world of motorworks'', and that got found out about, then it was Paul Castlebuono, and he got found out about being the same guy as WoM... The it was alias time so now it looks like a father/son tag team, Paulie Castle and Paul Castle.
Last night he made a self stroking post about a happy customer. Dude brought is car in with a bad factory MAF... Then they heard a ''funny noise''. Next thing you know it had a thrust problem that caused ''a bunch of rods to be loose''.
So dude had a bad MAF and ended up with a full engine rebuild that's ''built to hold 400hp'' With a new TA49 and injectors and some other undersized goofy unneeded stuff.
I mentioned that a loose thrust bearing can't cause rods to be loose, they're unrelated. His answer was that my vacuum brake kits don't work and everyone he's installed dind't work and they almost hit the garage door.
so I mentioned that I've never sold him a vacuum brake kit... and if he doesn't know how to hook up a vacuum line to a vacuum booster, he shouldn't be working on peoples cars. you know, since I use the exact same GM booster repainted by Cardone that everybody uses on conversions.
So today I found another post in the TR restoration site that had another grandstanding post about what an expert he is so I replied ''If I google search your real name and add ''fraud'' with it, will I get 28,900 hits'' (and posted the link under it).
That got me blocked.
FB hosting buick stuff is the luckiest thing that could have every happened to those pricks. It's literally a pool of new victims to scam. I found it pretty amazing how many people don't recognize me name over there. For the Pauls, it's a windfall.
The goofy fucker even has worldofmotorwo rks.com as his website on his personal FB page. The site doesn't even work!

Grumpy, I'm a mirror. :)
Plus, Paulie is basing my assholeness directly proportional to the amount of money he can leach off the Buick community. With any luck it'll stay directly proportional and I can excell beyond his wildest expecations.
Then he can move on to 'vette owners or Mustangs or something.

:rock: .... I never met Paul but I did see him in action @ BG. Now everyone knows I am crazy but he surpassed me :rofl: Yelling an screamin at a guy about some work to be done. Then a year ago a business dealing with a block.. What a fiasco.
-
Ok have to add . Pauls are all over. Parts , antiques, cars===$$$$ attracts them :icon_redface:
-
Nothing worse than having to deal with a crook like him! Good for you Earl, letting people know about him! :cheers: I would be very upset spending lots of money and finding out after the fact that I am dealing with a charlatan.
-
I guess I've been around too long but It always puzzles me when these whizbang, cool guy parts and service guys show up in a whirl wind and everyone opens up the check book or credit card and hands them money.
Either that or I'm the stereo typical cheap a$$ Buick guy many complain about. Ok, Ill admit it, I'm the CHEAP A$$.
Oh, and kudos to you Earl for calling this/these individual(s) out. I'd do it but I just don't have the time to spend on fb for spin control.
-
Why do people continue to go to him when there are good, reputable shops that specialize in Turbo Regals that don't have these types of issues? Thanks Earl!!
-
Lot's of low life's out there.
-
I've had my share of interactions with him and his "son" on FB, calling them out for being thieves. He didn't take too kindly to it, but I don't care. He's a scumbag, plain and simple.
-
What is his real name and is it one guy playing both roles, or are there two guys
-
I believe Pauly is Paul Jr and probably is the reason they have an upgraded web site
-
Paulie Castle is the dad, and Paul is the son (I believe).
Paul is the one I called out and got blocked by. When Paulie shares Paul's stuff I can't see the message.
I have seen a few instances today where Paulie replies to fill a parts wanted and gets told ''I'm not buying anything from you guys''.
So I know I've gotten into their pocket a little.
No idea if Paul is slinging shit about me, but I don't sell much on FB and my 100.0%
ebay feedback speaks for itself.
I listed a pretty nice Vac brake kit with SS lines and NOS Delco large rear wheel cylinders, and some dildo named Bob Sweeting likes to spam up my add with his hydroboost system and insists that vacuum brakes won't work on turbo Buicks. I've been having fun with him on and off.
The days of using GM boosters on vac kits are probably just about over so I don't mind the drama. They're getting harder and harder to consistently find lately.

When I was look for a gauge set I contacted him on Ebay. After i contacted him he raised the price on the gauges $100. I knew he was a douche bag but that was the seal of guarantee! :icon_lol:
-
That happened to me a couple years ago. I messaged a guy on eBay out some flat tappet Ford lifters to make sure they had the hardened feet on them.
After realizing there's a difference, he told me yes, then raised the price from $18 per 4, to $350 a set. And added ''these are the hardened lifters, I know what I have'' in the description. Suddenly it became cheaper to go roller, so that's what I did.
Over a year later, he still was paying $.65 a month to list the lifters he can't sell.

Son of a Biotch, Castle is selling Ford parts too! :x
