Lol, no.

If I'm selling a car or whatever, you're not scratching, taping or dismantling anything.

Exactly. That's what that fella back in post 11 said.
Not going to happen.
Who is going to pay for damages? And if a buyer doesn't know how to remove trim, its likely to get damaged.

I know my frame & cage are good. You come in my garage with your tools to dismantle. you will be met with my tool: 12ga.

I can't imagine a stranger showing up at my front door with a hammer...

I'm grabbing my acorns right away.

If I wanted to sell mine I would remove the kick panels myself. I gots nothing to be afeared of. If they're not willing to show you at; least behind the kick panels then move along.....

As already mentioned I would verify the 383 is actually an 383. In the past few years Ive come across a number of "383's" that were not or could not be verified. Can they provide receipts of the engine work? If not, do a internet search on verification of 383 for assistance.
