PITTSBURGH, Pa. — The man who pleaded no contest stealing thousands of dollars for classic car restorations and never doing the work was sentenced Thursday.
An Allegheny County judge sentenced Curtis Ukasik, 45, of Finleyville, to 32 to 64 months in prison followed by 20 years’ probation.
Last year, Channel 11 reported Ukasik, owner of Redline Performance Motorsports, was charged with more than a dozen theft charges.
