Buying from afar
@harrisonm has kindly offered to be my eyes in Topeka. With his paint skill I dont think they can pull one on him. I also ordered an inspection from a classic car inspection service to make sure there aren't any mechanical voodoo issues. If it pans out I'll probably have my bank manager contact his bank manager to transfer funds and get me a bill of sale. I just cant think of a good way to get him cash and still protect both of us.
