Default Re: Long distance buying

Most people are honest, especially old car folks, but when it comes to a restoration, the term restored has many meanings to different people. Some people honestly think the car they cobbled together is restored and they are very proud of it. Some people expect a restoration to be a fine point job. Just because someone tells you how great the car is does not mean that they are on the same value system that you expect. When I am looking to buy a car, I feel that a trip to look at it is part of the cost. I have seen few scammers in the old car business, only different opinions on what a restoration requires.
