There may be deals but very far and few between. Been 5 years but paid $3,200 for ratty interior '318 swapped 64 Dart and drove 120 miles home.
Missed out on a better '65 50 miles away for $,3,100 a few months before. I called the dude when the buyer was on his way to look coming from a few hundred miles. The buyer was test driving and I got the rundown. Aftermarket floor shifter, dash and all lights gone through solid driver. He was asking $ 3,000. Told him I'd pay $3,100 cash sight unseen.
Buyer came back and never had a chance to get it for less.
I'm kinda in the sticks and stuff is hidden all over. A cat I use for labor recently picked up '69 383 D 200 Sweptline for $ 800 and with fresh gas, battery and persuasion drove it away & still owes the seller some dollars lmao.
