I have done that before. I had a 68 coronet grille and wagon taillights before I bought my 68 coronet wagon.
I knew about the car and it was for sale but I didn't make a move on it right away. Gotta love cars for sale privately and unadvertised.
Around here, people know me, so they often come to me and ask if I want to buy cars they have or know about. I'm known as the crazy cat lady who buys old cars. I've turned down many non mopars. I had a guy show me pics of a 71 ranchero the other day. Cool car and good price but no $$$ and I'm trying to pay off a duster. :realcrazy:
