Buying car unseen

[Burd]

A bud bought a 70 Z, LT1 4peed from the Chicago area, somehow it would up at my garage. Lol
Numbers match. Lmao. They took every high dollar part off the car, except the alum intake, the guy told him it was an edelbrock. Well it wasn’t. Steering wheel, orig rad shroud,radio, console lock, dist, carb, thermo housing, jack, spare, shift ball, battery cables. The engine bay got a complete detail, he shit when he saw it the second time, lmao. Hood off, and all the Jeggs chrome crap off, I had a garbage can filled up with rusty chrome stuff, finding the correct Holley and Dist and sheer wheel in green was a pain, but it’s almost done. Just a few things. I’ll look fir the pics, it is sweet, dark Green/ Green / green vinyl top. Actually I need you guys to nit pick my detail, I am a Pontiac guy. Lol

Buying a car sight unseen is certainly a leap of faith and can be a disaster, but not always. If possible find someone from the SYC who lives near the car...or they might know a local car club member who can help. A little extra time spent in the beginning usually saves a lot of time and money down the road.

Thanks again for everyones input. Didnt buy the car. I worry not so much about the condition because he's looking for something that's in his budget. I worry more about the car having the correct paperwork and tags. I think we'll look for something a little closer to home. Mark
