Ol'Ron,
Sorry for getting off subject on your post, but I just have to respond to L78Chevelle.
L78Chevelle,
Let me see if I understand your reply correctly. You have had two 1940 Fords for sale for three months and you would
not take a $1500 deposit in early September to hold one of the cars for two more months when the buyer offers to pay your full asking price if the direction of the country
does change in the presidental election and if the direction of the country
does not change, he would let you keep the deposit and
not take the car?? I would take that deal in a heartbeat (oops sorry heartbeat is Chevy talk). You win regardless of who wins the presidental election. You sell your car for the asking price or you get $1500 for simply holding the car for two months.
Unless, as I suspect, your response is really tongue in cheek! If you had gotten the buyers offer in writing, at least from my perspective, I wish that he would have came back to buy the car.
Steve/IL

I have tried the Ford Barn, Craig's List, Ebay, and the Hot Rod listings with no real response like I got in past years. One man showed up to look at one of my '40 Fords. He told me he would take the car for the asking price with one hitch to the deal. He wanted to give me a $1,500 deposit to hold the car until after the presidential election. If there was a change in the direction of this country he would return that week and buy the car for the asking price. If the country stayed the same he would give me the deposit and not take the car. I would not do that deal since that was in early September and I did not want to tie that car up for that long. This is what I'm running into in this present market.
