If a seller can't provide receipts for all worked claimed, it is almost certain you are being played. Our shop has worked on old cars for many years, and have seen too many shady deals. last year, a good customer bought a '57 T Bird from a photo of the car in Ca. When it arrived, it hardly ran, inspite of claims of tecent work. We pulled the heads to find the block had been so severly "relieved" the top rings were exposed! His attempts to contact the seller were unsuccessful. If you are buying on claims, always demand proof. When I restored my '47 I have a shoebox full of proof of what was done, and with what.
