Most car dealers are just salesmen and know very little about old cars. Just read some of the ads on e-Bay from dealers selling a classic car. The descriptions are sometimes laughable. Always go inspect the car yourself. A few bucks for gas or an airplane ride can save you thousands. I bought two cars from photos. The first one turned out better than described by the owner and was actually a Rouge car. I called him and thanked him immensely when it arrived at my house. The second one was a disaster and I fixed all the offending problems and sold it. Took a loss and never regretted it. Also learned to always inspect a car myself.
