Well it looks like it is a go ahead for a 1973 Challenger, 318 auto.  Has been repainted orange w/white strips and white vinyl roof.  No rust on car, paint in good condition it has PS, PB, A/C (which isn't installed).  It is a nice driver w/great future potential for restorations.  $9500 seems like a real modest price from what I have seen of cars in same condition on Ebay.  This is NOT an ebay car so the price is fairly decent considering.
I'll send some photos when I get it.
Now I'll have to make another post about tranporting thru Canada, unless somewhere here can shed some info.  I will be cutting across Canada via Niagra Falls and coming out at Detroit.  What if any problems will I run into transporting the car back through Canada into USA?

Detroit ? Ooo leave it with me then, I'll take care of it  :D

If you transport a US car into Canada I assume you have to íimport it and pay duties and taxes so in that case, to save a buck you can have the seller fill in a lower amount on the bill of sale.
Just making a guess really but it should be the same worldwide, any car from abroad needs to be registered and made domestic which brings on the taxes and import duties.
Call the customs office and tell them your plan, they'll tell you exactly what you need to know.

Not an expert but the price on that thing doesn't sound bad, curious to see the pics.

Doc, I probably wasn't clear enough.  I live in the US, it would be quicker and cheaper (gas wise) to "cut through" CANADA.  I can save about 3 hours and 200+ miles going that way versus dropping down and going through Ohio.  So I just am wondering if they will give me a hard time transporting the car into Canada and then back out.  I think it would be about a 3 hour drive tops through Canada so they can track it if needed.

Ah big diff and the lack of clarity may be on my side, I'd say I'm not at my best today but I probably am  :icon_smile_big:

When you just transport it, it'll be your car all payed for and taxed ( or will be ) by the US gov. You can still call to be sure but I'm quite confident that you won't have any trouble.

And uh...that's a sweet ride...get it before someone else snatches it !   :2thumbs:

Save yourself the hassle. The paperwork runaround can quickly turn into a nightmare.  Go through Ohio.   :yesnod:

Just so you know I did some research about traveling through Canada.  NO PROBLEM.  The caveat is that the driver must be american, the equipment must also be American.  Other than that, no problem.  So after talking with the Canadian guy for some time, he did mention a big point.  The Windsor, ON crossing is not "green lane" equipped yet unlike Buffalo and Champlain.  He mentioned that it is not uncommon to have a 1-2 hour wait and he has seen up to 5 hours waiting just to cross.

Soooo, knowing that I will be traveling through Ohio.  I just kinda wanted an excuse to go back to Niagra Falls.  No big deal though, I'll go through PA, be able to stop off in the Poconos, perhaps check some stuff in the Cleveland area and shoot up to Detroit.
Only problem I have is last time I went out to Detroit, they actually closed whole sections of the highway for repair  :P and I ended getting lost in god knows where looking for the highway. I think I was lost for 50 minutes.  Problem was my ego that I never get lost (which I don't) and I got frustrated and wasn't thinking.  My attitude has since changed so this last part of my post is a mute point.

I'll be picking her up on the 19th  :icon_smile_big:
