That's what I said. One thing to remove the A/C, but then to advertise it as having it with no under hood components to show is misleading...

But my uncle is not as concerned about the engine in it, as he plans to do another 440 for it eventually. I did tell him for that money the engine in there should be good to go for a while, not just something thrown in there that may break. What kind of receipts do they have for any engine work that may have been done? How good were the people who built it???

He decided not to go to the TX auction because of the hassle to get it shipped back, but as things worked out, the new auction is within 20 minutes of his house. If he can't drive it home, then I can help him tow it back with my truck and a u-haul trailer cheaper than a tow truck will do it...
