Bruce Springsteen's drummer, Max Weinberg, is suing the owners of a Florida car restoration company, saying they stole $125,000 by falsely promising him a like-new 1957 Mercedes-Benz and then using his money for personal expenses.
Weinberg is seeking $375,000 from Arthur Siegle, members of his family and their Investment Auto Group Inc. in a lawsuit filed Sunday in Palm Beach County. The Mercedes-Benz 190SL roadster they claimed they could deliver had significant damage and rust, and they knew it could not be restored to like-new condition when they took Weinberg's $125,000 deposit almost three years ago, according to the lawsuit.
