Pete,
There's a link on the web site where you can "ask the seller a question".
How many that reamed the ad do you suppose first took the time to gather any
facts?
I've spent a lot of years chasing down "works" cars, rare this or that.
You've got to do your due dilligence on all of this type of thing. I've seen
faked cars, worthless shit for moocho dinero. There are folks on this list
that have quietly gone about gathering facts, speaking to people to get
"informed" opinion, and contact the seller.
Most, however, apparently missed what appears to be some pretty interesting
details about what "could" be a significant car. Worthy of asking the
"right" questions.
WST
