That's kind of my idea. I'm looking for something that I can drive while I plan out my build and gather parts. Trouble with finding something outside the rust belt is finding time to go pick it up. Never have enough time.
I have bought some projects over the phone over the years, always risky even when you know what and how to ask good questions. This was back before the puter and people mailed pics and ,many were actually HONEST! Shipping ain't cheap.
If you have never restored an old car, remember they are 50-60 years old, all will have at least some rust and all will have dings or worse.
I know this. 99% of all 4 doors are way overpriced. They will not bring those idiot ask prices. IMHO
