Buying project xx29l9b386542

It is my understanding from the information he sends out that the "obo" part of the price is in effect until the ad runs its course of time. During this time, he is listening and I think offers have weight by those who have actually come to see the car. He once had drama about a car he sold a long time ago to a cat that didn't come and look at it. He doesn't want to relive that frustrating episode again. I personally can totally understand his point of view. Of course, from a buyer's point of view, it is frustrating in its own right. On the phone he seems like a straight up sort of guy..

I have a few stories of my own of "no show buyers who "promised" back then, but I got over it. But I suppose a guy who hangs onto a car like this is probably a little unique in his thinking. Met plenty of that kind in my day, which makes me kinda glad I'm not a frontrunner in this particular game.

Pretty tough situation if you are looking to buy. If I had the expenses to go see the car I wouldn't want to leave without getting a deal done. I would think his approach may turn off more than a few potential buyers. As much as I would want the opportunity to buy a car like this I would want to know how much the seller wants, and when I could bring the car home.

Just too many hoops to jump through for too much uncertainty.

What a cool car though...I wish all you guys going for it the best of luck.

I wonder how long this will play out? I just couldn't see leaving an open offer on the table...anyway I am just rambling on now

All this be solved if he put it up for bid on ebay since he is looking to get the top dollar. From what i gather currently you need to go see the car, make an offer then leave and wait till he collects all other bids..... What a crock.

No ebay fees this way

This guy would piss off less people if he would have been clear in his ad what he was doing.

Buying a house in a hot market is like this, but they announce the day they are accepting bids until.  And one frequently has to write a 'love letter' about how you will love it and cherish it and not sell it a year later.

At the very most he would be looking at is $200 if he listed it and it sold on Ebay...unless I am missing something?

I mean no offence , to anyone potential buyers or the seller him self .

  !  sounds like a lot of messing around with this , seller ! IMO  if I was in a position to buy a Daytona , I would not deal with this guy  now if , he had the last Daytona on the planet 

[Moparpoolman]

Just from gathering up what's been said, This car being part of an estate makes me wonder if the seller even has the authority to sell it?  Maybe the wait for offers is also a wait to get the authority from a probate court to sell.  I'd be real cautious with this amount of money...

Agree completely.    The car is neither nice enough or a good enough deal to warrant all the jerking around and red tape.     At some point, a potential buyer says "that's enough".    Assuming the car is really available for sale and you have a legit six figure offer,  and are not taking it;  either you are nuts or there's no there, there.

anyone have a photo of the fender tag they will share here? it would at least be nice to get it logged into the databases

[hemi68charger]

I'll yell back after my visit.... As far as the probate is concerned, based on my conversation with the owner ( who again is the brother of the belated long-time 2nd owner ), all that legal stuff is done... Unfortunately, I know that, here in Texas, the process doesn't take too long... My widow friend who just sold Tuffy's Mr. Norm's '71 Charger R/T Saturday had all the legal documents... Not trying to side one way or anyone, but I only know what I know and it seems it is a little more than some at this point. Looking at it in a half-full manner instead of half-empty; at least the car's going to be sold to someone and not just sit outside and rot owned by one of the "one-of-these-days-I'm-going-to-restore-it" owners....

[taxspeaker]

The title is in the name of the current owner who is the same guy who has possession of it as I personally examined it when I physically examined the car two weeks ago. The patient guy (me) understands the sellers position even though I don't necessarily agree with it, and I am patiently waiting the final decision of the owner, which will hopefully come to me since the other offers were not acceptable for whatever reason.

The fender tag is not in good enough condition that a surface picture will help frankly-too far gone except for a rubbing.

[held1823]

even from the back side? that is the only way to make out what mine says.

the codes would be better than nothing, if possible.

hope it goes well with your offer; that would make one more rust bucket daytona here in indiana

[taxspeaker]

RM sent with that info

[nascarxx29]

[41husk]

I need to check and see if he might have mine.  I wonder what he charges to get your build sheet?

[62 Max]

That's easy !

[41husk]

Great, looks like I might get to keep my testicles

[Beep Beep Dave]

I don't think Galen charges anything to reunite a broadcast sheet with the matching car.

Dave

[41husk]

Nice

[birdsandbees]
