I've only ever done it once, and that worked out fine for me. I bought it from a private owner that was selling it thru a dealership. I trusted the description and photos. It was shipped to me from Illinois out here to California. The only negative that happened was that they had to remove the right front radio antenna for the car to go into the enclosed shipping truck, and when I got the car unloaded the disassembled antenna was missing one piece. I was able to buy that piece from a restoration company and amazingly to myself put the antenna back together. They sent me a CD with probably 100 photos showing the restoration process of the car. I found the car thru an advertisement in Hemmings Motor News.
