Has this ever happened to you?

Here's the actual pm from the guy...

Hey thanks for replying, I am curious in buying over the internet because there aren't any 70 dart parts cars in minnesota. And if there are, people want some crazy amounts of money for them. I have been looking for quite some time and came across your car. I figure I am not trying to turn my car into a numbers matching fake 340 car to scam someone and make tons of money, I would just like to be able to drive my drag car on the street. I have an old dash from a 73 that's a bit rusty from water leaking in but i think i can manage to restore it to be good enough so we don't have to deal with shipping a giant dash piece. For the pedigree I would be willing to offer you 500, half the amount you wanted for the whole car, and you get to continue to part all the parts off of it. If this interests you let me know either way and we can set something up. Springs coming and i have an itch to get this baby on the road lol. thanks, and just let me know either way.
