Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
Grusum, I know that this won't make you feel any better but I did the same thing a couple of years ago. I purchased a 68 Camaro from someone in Utah. Not only did the pictures make it look great, he sent me a video of the car including the sound of it running. After receiving the Camaro, it was obvious that his idea of a perfect interior and mine were different. They were things that could be fixed but I felt it was misrepresented. It was a two speed racing powerglide which didn't have a first gear. He refuted the claim. He said it was working ok before it was shipped. What I learned after this experiance is I would wait as long as it took to find one locally, which I did. My wife and family (all grown children) thought that the car was really nice and that I was nuts. Maybe I was a little picky but I sold the car 2 weeks later taking a $4000 loss including the price of shipping. I eventually found one that I was happy with and look back at my internet buy as a learning experiance. Good luck to you.
