Need Help - Found a Racer
Is there anyone in Monterey California who feels like looking at a car for me?
I just need a quick inspection, floor pans, rockers and trunks looked at- fire it up and run it through the gears-
Would like a quick inspect before I send the guy some serious coin.
I need some digital pics of the areas you checked- and I will cover you for time and gas.

Ok so here's the deal.
Told this guy I wanted to have an inspection done on the car before I wired him $10k. Told him I will take it pending inspection.
He says nevermind I have two legit buyers, and dusts me off.
Then I get an email saying, neither showed he needs quicK cash so he will let me send an inspector.
Now this was a nice car, the guy has a lot of nice stuff for sale and is a regular poster on several bulletin boards.
So I think about it and then realize that heres what was going to happen; I was going to drop $400 for an inspection, and while I was waiting for results, someone was going to walk up with cash in hand and buy that car.
So I told him I'd call, but held off and lo and behold he posted he sold it today.
I'd have been out that $400 and he would have sold the car right out from under me.
Lesson learned?
None.
It was a friggin NICE car.
