The one that was advertised as a recent frame-off and had a '67 BB hood?

Guy sent me quite a few pics....looked decent.

What do you know about it?

I didn't get that far. I emailed him for more pics, which he sent. The pics looked intriguing, so I put the car on my short list, but then got involved with another, that fell through....(the red coupe I mentioned). So I went back to him asking if it was still available, and he's now got a deposit. My next set of questions would have been about rust, accident history, mechanics, originality, pics of trim tags, etc, etc....

Rebuilt title....same as a salvaged title? Big accident, flood,.....any idea why?

What's a "Fla Vin tag"?

A reason not to buy it for $32.5k

Seriously, it is a VIN issued by the state DMV.

Well, to be fair, he was saying 30k a few weeks ago. Who knows what he's finally letting it go for......especially considering the history, and the beating he's probably taken from some of the perspective buyers about it.....

The vert looks a little on the rough side, and it's not running....too much for me to take on.

The coupe looks pretty nice. I might call him and see if he's got any room to move on his price, but coming down +5k is a lot to ask.

Regardless, Thank you!

not mine, just a place about an hour away. they have a decent rep.

It may prove difficult to negotiate price with J&S. They normally price their cars right on the money and won't budge. Good guys to deal with. Been dealing with them for over 30 years.

I just found this a few days ago:

http://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/1899239417.html

I don't know anything about the car but it might be worth a shot.

I might have found one. Both this and the green '65 vert have my attention, but aren't the "that's it!!!" car that I've been waiting patiently for. I'll keep them in mind if the current lead goes cold.

Thank you!
