Location: San Antonio TX | I've seen this one pop up before a while ago. Price listed seems like a steal! If I was in California I'd be on my way to pick it up right now.

I actually tried buying it, but the seller is really hard to work with. The guy who I am touch with is not the owner, and the owner is apparently 'not a people person' according to the person I've talked to. He will only accept cash only in person, he will only accept $50 bills, he will only show the car every 2-3 weeks, and he insists that the car be picked up as soon as it's purchased. I tried explaining that sending money via Western Union or Moneygram is basically cash (since you get actual cash when you accept the order at the store) but he's not having any of it. He says that the car has generated a lot of interest and a lot of whining, but I don't know if I consider it 'whining' when the guy is so unreasonable.
On a side note, if anyone is willing to take a look at the car in person and purchase it for me, I'd be willing to pay $500 to that person. |

Location: Williams California | Looks like that car is up near Lake Isabella, about an hour out of Bakersfield. I'll be down that way next week, did the guy say when he was going to allow inspections?

Exactly 2PM on the 25th. Can you e-mail me at miles.bronson@outlook.com? I'll get you the phone number of the guy who I've been talking to and send you mine as well. |

The truth comes out...
I knew there'd be some rust, but I'm having second thoughts now! I don't mind the rust if it's in panels or floors, but fixing that rust on the pillar seems like it'd be really tricky on top of having to find a replacement pillar. |
