Hmm, that post is now 2 years old and Bryan bought this recently. There's a gap in the history. What can you tell us about the seller, Bry?

His bank info is useless to you as a buyer, isn't it?
Someone could be selling me the Pope's Ring.
The seller of the "Pope's Ring" banking info ain't gonna do me crap if I get a Cracker Jack toy ring in the mail.

Bryan.

The thought at first was a wire transfer to his account.....

Tnx.... I agree on the negativity !

A huge thanks out to ScottSmith Harms for checking it out for me today. Here's what he had to say.......

"I stopped by to look it over.

Based on a 5 minute walk around inspection It's got great driver potential but will need some work.

Heater box is unhooked so likely a leaker, he was having problem getting it to run, chasing vacuum and carb issues (no, I didn't volunteer!

) etc. but basically looked like a stock engine that's had typical maintenance replacement items over the years, the intake and valve covers had been off recently, etc. He lost the trunk keys so couldn't look inside......Never know on that one.

Interior looks clean/original, drivers seat cushion has multiple areas of splitting and foam showing, seat back plastics are missing (might be in trunk?) Dash has multiple cracks.

Body had no visible rust or repairs, just speckling in the lower quarters where rocks removed the paint over the years, there were signs of bubbling starting across the leading edge of the forward vinyl top window trim. Multiple minor scrapes and dings on the doors and quarters, passenger side was the worst and passenger front fender likely had a minor accident in it's past, signs of filler in the dog leg. It's had a partial or complete outer body repaint a long time ago so it's old and worn looking.

I'd say worth his asking price.

"

And a few new pic's to share....
