Look what I bought 'again' I must be crazy

I don't think the seller is going to be happy seeing that he turned down a 12,600 bid last week. I did not bid on the car at all that time.

It has good bones, there was no signs of rot that I could find when I looked at it, but it will need to be repainted. Whoever painted it did a terrible job on the body work.

The engine and trans are not original which is why I backed out of the first deal, well partly.

It will need all new rubber, a new grill, new top and some of the chrome will need to be replaced.

Don't get me wrong it still is about 2k out of my comfort zone but it will cost me more than this to build a clone of it. Which in the end is what I was looking for.

I was well within my rights to back out of the first deal as he had advertised it as numbers matching and it aint.

I could have bought this one

for 4500, but this guy beat me to it and now he wants 6800.


340plot I don't understand the hostility, I wasn't even going to bid on it unless it was under 10k and I didn't. In the first sale the owner sweared up and down that it was all original and I took his word for it. After I showed the seller the date stamp on the car he apologized and offered me a few hundred for my troubles, I had just driven 400 miles to see it. A Crackhead move would have been to trash him on feedback and then bid on it which I didn't do.

In the future I would probably not buy from this guy, because he does not go into detail about faults on his vehicles for sale. Like he didn't mention ever that it needed paint work and a new top and he wouldn't tell you unless you ask him specifically.

He is a good salesman though, which is rarely in the buyers best interest.
