Has anyone seen this car in person or talked to the person who owns it and may have more details. It is only about 3 hrs from me so I really am kind of interested. Thought I would hit you guys up first.

Pretty sure that car was on e-bay once or twice, looks nice in the pictures. I don't recall if he had a buy it now price or not.
I have exchanged a few emails with him, and I have seen it on craigslist a couple times, just thought one of you guys might know something, or passed on buying because it has issues. Previously he was firm @ $6000, Now he is @ $5800, but says he absolutly needs to sell the car, so that makes it sound like he would go lower. When his last auction closed on EBAY it was at or around $4000-4500, and didnt meet reserve.
I would steer clear of this one. In the Ebay auction there were pics before the paint job and it had gaping holes in the quarters and one side was hit hard and the wheel house was damaged pretty seriously. Looks like sloppy body work. Doubt it was repaired correctly. IIRC, the bidding only went to around $2500. There are much better cars out there for $6k.
