Springsteen's Drummer Max Weinberg Sues Florida Car Restoration Company
Weinberg alleges the company stole his $125,000 deposit and failed to restore a vintage Mercedes-Benz as promised.
- Max Weinberg, drummer for Bruce Springsteen, is suing a Florida car restoration company for allegedly stealing $125,000 from him.
- Weinberg claims he paid the company a deposit for the restoration of a 1957 Mercedes-Benz, which was never completed.
- A law enforcement investigation found that the company used Weinberg's deposit to pay off credit cards and make deposits to personal accounts.
- The car, which Weinberg hoped to enter in Concours-level shows, was found to have significant damage and rust, and was not even the year model the company claimed it to be.
- No criminal charges have been filed, but the case remains under review.
