Thanks again to all for the comments, support and compliments.
I was talking to my buddy this AM, he's not an A guy but went with me to the cars & coffee yesterday and to look at the car.
I left early, he stayed later.
He knows the dealer and is friendly with the guys that own the place.
His impression was that they wanted to help the owner, this was a consignment car, but it was turning into quite a project.
Essentially the owner just wanted to get rid of it.
The owner paid for an inspection and a new battery from the dealer.
There was an issue with the title (since resolved with the state - 100% for sure) that the estate took care of before the dealer would start marketing the car.
That was a 6-7 month process while this car took up space in the dealership.
Bottom line… the dealer wanted it out of his place and the owner wanted it gone.
I guess I was at the right place at the right time…..we'll have to see once I delve into it.
I was actually initially at the dealer to look at a 1930 Rumble Seat Coupe and spotted this car sitting in the corner.
Dumb luck!!
