Bill, you hit the nail on the head with the family problem. When I was about 22 I went to a family reunion at his house and it was the first time I had laid eyes on it. At that time I told him if he ever sold it to give me first shot to keep it in the family. Years had gone by and I had forgotten all about it, at a family wedding last fall which was the first time I had seen him since the reunion he asked me if I still wanted the car....WOW! I had no idea he still had it but immediatly said heck yes I wanted it, he said he was tossing the idea around as he was considering selling out and moving to Arizona. Life spun ahead and I forgot about it again until yesterday when the phone rang with him on the other end saying he was ready to let it go and what did I want to pay that was fair. I am going to his house this weekend to look it over and make an offer. The problem is this, I believe his motivation for selling to me is the fact that he has the idea I want the car to keep and not to sell. He is no dummy so I am sure he is aware of what it would bring on the open market, this comes down to a family thing and a promise he made me almost 30 years ago. At the moment I really cant afford to tie up that much $$$ just to have it sit, yet at the same time I cant afford to let it get away, so I tossed this question out here as to what would be fair and resonable between two family members that is the least amount I would have to tie up. Awhile back I had another red 64 listed for sale that belonged to a cousin on the other side of my family, it was a #3 at best driver which I sold for 11K. You guys think 20K would be an insult between family? But at the same time he is a family member I have only seen maybe five times in my entire life. Red Alert Bill, it was CKLW was it not? Or was it WKNR? I cant remember which and I forgot to ask when I had him on the phone. What to do......
