Default Re: Safest Way to Buy a Car Long Distance??

The EFV8 Club or Model A club roster......OR maybe here on "The Barn". Where is the car??? BE very clear what "YOU" are looking for and what "YOU" want. We did this "very" thing years ago buying a WWII Ford Jeep up in North Carolina. We contacted a V8 Club member in the town and he went and looked at them for US and chose one for us.......He was great and did a "great job" for us BUT as stated above he choose what was "the best" in his "eye" and not necessarily was best in "my eye". My dad was not clear and specific with him other than to say "pick the best one!". He picked one that was very straight body wise (and would have been great foundation for a full restoration project) but needed mechanical work!!! We ended up with one NOT as straight BUT better mechanical wise!!! SO Be very clear and precise what you want with whoever you decide to get to go look at the car for you
