I tried talking my buddy down in Arizona into pulling the trigger on it. I haven't seen pictures yet but if it's as nice as it sounds I don't see how he could go wrong.
He's on the tail end of restoring a '69 Roadrunner 440 4-speed car and lost enthusiasm over it. His dream had been to have a '68 Charger R/T and he sounds as if he wishes he'd stuck his efforts into getting one instead. He's still on the fence about the Challenger. It doesn't sound as though the price is the issue. At his age I don't think he wants to invest his time on another car that hasn't been his dream to own.
I've never pried any of the details about the car's location from him. I know I'm not in the market for another project now either. It sounds as though he could flip the car with a clear conscience. The woman is adamant that all she wants for it is what she'd paid for it when new. One of four things are likely to happen.
1) Someone else will buy and flip it because the price is low.
2) Someone that buys it will drive it as is and torture the rest of the life out of it.
3) Someone will buy it and bring it back to full glory for themselves.
4) The car will sit and deteriorate until she passes away.
As long as he gives her the asking price I think he could make himself a tidy profit on it and not feel as though he had finagled her to sell it too cheap just so he could pocket the profits. After all, she's going to sell it to someone at that price anyway. - It might as well be him.
