Had a lot of things happen including losing one job and starting another. I'll buy the car but can't get up there to get it for a month or so. Do you have a place to hold it for 30 to 60 days? If so I'll send a check.
I too would have purchased it if there was a local (within 100 miles) KFOCI member that could keep it for 30 days. Need to shuffle cars around. I have more coming in then going out. So, the cost of the vehicle is not the issue for us. As noted, it's the distance and cost to transport. Making the hobby more of a local hobby more and more. It takes a really special car to justify expense and commitment to go get.
I am in the middle of a purchase of a 1942 Packard 180 Limousine out of Berwick, Nova Scotia that I offered $2000 to the seller thinking there was no way he would accept. No one else stepped forward, a lot of talk, and so he accepted my offer on a 30 year, inside heated stored very rare CCCA full classic.
Transport has been the issue. Transport is $2500, which I why offered $2000 for a $7000 + car. I should be OK price wise getting the car all in for $4500. But the fun just starts there. I have found exactly 2 transporters to do the move, and had to use UShip which I don't care for. It's not here yet, but I have already paid for the car and will front 1/2 on the transport. I use a great shipper out of Wisconsin for domestic moves at $1 a loaded mile.
