Ok heres your positive- Bought a 69Z X33 car from a guy in selby ohio. decent guy and car was what he said it was and he even held it for me since I was driving out to take a look.
I did also however get ripped off by an ohio guy on my Corvette.
So i have a good and a bad.
My last two personal scammers came from Texas and Minnesota-
The thing is anyone you deal with could be rotten- you really have to get a ton of info on the person before you deal with them if you want to be safe- and thats still a hassle.
I tend to buy my stuff from parts houses or swap meets - easier that way.
