Dumb Mopar moves - this should be fun

And another screw up, I gave a $100 deposit on a 70 Challenger R/T 440 6-pac 4-speed, went to get the car and pay the $900 I owed the guy, the flood of 85 hit WV.
I called the guy 1/2 way to his house, his wife answered, she said we will refund the deposit, the garage the car is setting in is under water.
