Sorry.
The people who listed the 64 Valiant were sketchy at best to get ahold of. Left a bunch of emails some answered (Only after sending the scam alert up ther flag pole)
Left my phone number each time, they never called. ABB left an email too and they were hinting around about wanting to know what our offer was like they were running an off line auction only to pick the person who offered the most $$ before contacting them with further info.
Supposedly listed for father. Father was supposedly being fowarded all emails but not answering. Finally called last night around 10PM!, for me that just pisses me off anyway. 10PM is too late to call people on the phone.
If anyone wants to navigate their landmine sale here is the link;

I bailed just because the whole thing was so shady, no comunication, and not willing to give ANY info. They wouldn't even tell me if they had a title or not!! The whole set up was Bull **** at best.
Here is the last of the emails copy before the Father finally called too late.
TO THEM LAST EMAIL;
My wife and I are over it now.
Money went to another project (I just bought a pair of GEO METROS that need some welding) and ca$h won't be back in my hands again for a couple of weeks.
Have to chalk this one up to you snoose you loose.
Me lost for almost missing this ad for almost a month, yall lost for not letting me spend my cash on your valiant when I needed to buy a project.
Good Luck and Good by.

Hello John!
I'm sorry to get back to you so late. My father, is selling the car and I just put it up on Craigslist for him as a favor. I have been forwarding all of your emails to him, but he apparently has not contacted you back.
So, I will give you his cell phone number so that you can reach him asap and ask him all of your questions. Again I am so sorry to get back to you this late. I believe you are his number one bid right now, so things look very good for you!! (This is not legal on CL, they are running an off line auction here, it aint ebay!)
His cell is: his number finally, ABB and I were already toast by now on it...
Please call him tomorrow and he will answer any questions you have! Thanks so much!!

Again, still interested with rust and all.
As long as you have title asking price not a problem.
I was just trying to tell you the rust would be no problem, I deal with it in the common areas all the time.
Have cash, have auto transport truck, will travel.
What's with the reluctance to sell to or call me?
My money is just as green as everyone elses and besides, I am well known for restoring 60's and 70's A Body Mopars (Darts, Scamps, Valiants, Dusters, etc) and have the parts, time and know how to do it!
I am also a member of forabodiesonly.com (21K plus members worldwide and growing) and continually publish my restores.
John 812-926-my number here If you don't call by tomorrow, I'll figure this as a scam and you can forget my offer, name, and number!!
If you have sold already, please remove your ad.
Thanks for your time, but mine is starting to be waisted.

Yes with a little more info before I make the 2 hour drive.
VERY INTERESTED IN IMMEDIATE PURCHASE!!!!!
Title?
Extent of rust, ie trunk extensions, spare tire well pan, rear quarters, floor boards??? Howz the torq boxes up front and the shackel boxes in back?
Frame rail rust or repairs?
Runs, shifts, but no brakes right?
Probibly rust holes around back corners of rear glass, right?
Very common for Mopar A-bodies.

If so, I'm very interested in restoring the car for my wife.
Please let me know if you still have or not.
If you do and want to sell, I can come when called.
I have cash, car hauler, willing to travel, and have mad restore skills!!
We presently have 3 Dodge Darts as our only drivers.
Your Valiant will have a good home.
John
Please let me know if you still have or not.
Thank You.

Well, that's it for this edition of
CAR HUNT! FABOZENE:cool:
Better Luck next time. Well, guess I'll start welding on the 2 metros (his blue, hers red) LOL! Hers only has slight miss but runs and drives. His needs fuel pump. Both need welding repairs made to the front ends. Well at least they fit in my heated garage to be worked!:cheers: Winter projects! I told ABB that I thought the King Midget was bigger than the metros!
