Re: Buying a car site unseen.
The inspectors you send to evaluate the car are usually a big waste of time for an antique car. Their inspection will be superficial, like how much oil is in the car!
Even if you are a mechanic, you will not be able to dismantle the car to see everything.
It is an old car! Going into it..yOU SHOW BE PREPARED TO spend money to fix whatever is broken. If you buy from an expensive antique house they could have had stupid mechanics restoring the car....You may find it will need to be done right when you get it.
Solution...Buy cheap...expect to pay more to fix it right...
and above all... enjoy working on it. it is old and enjoy being part of the history...
Once it is all fixed... you will be bored... there is only so much wax you can put on the car.
