Well the temptation was to much and went to see it. The guy said he would take 3,500 so I rented a car dolly. He claims he took it in on a trade and didn't know much. Just a spot of rust in lower windshield, but " real good " for a 50 year old car in his country accent. I asked him if we can test drive it when I get there he said sure. Well 8 hour drive later I drove into the driveway and see the car parked on the lawn. Not bad first impression . About 15 ft away it starts to fall apart . Half filled tires imbedded where it seemed to sit for quite awhile, windshield cracked right across, bondo with lines of rot bottom windshield frame. Missing some trim pieces . Go down round rocker area, all rot spots popping out through out. He starts the car, no smoke, but little oil pressure on the gauge. No other gauges appear to work wires exposed. I reached under car to try and knock on floors. With car sunken in barely can reach. Well I sit in car and work clutch and shifter, and that seemed ok. Basically nice car back in the seventies, but a rottening , smelly , unroad worthy p.o.s. With a bigger P.O.S. Of a Owner. I was so angry I turned and walked away. He had the nerve to shout it will just sit here , don't cost me no money. Well I drove out of his town filled with Confederate flags back on another 8 hour drive home. If your interested and have questions give me a call. Mike Levine I'm buying your transmission and finishing my car . See you at the convention!
