Update:

Made it to Pikeville. The car was nothing like he described on the phone, or showed in pics. The rear tail panel, rails, quarters and floors were rotted to death. The driver quarter was eaten up past the side marker, and the rear window was ready to fall in.

All the pics he sent me, he conveniently kept that out of view. He said over the phone that it was a solid car, but in person he made excuses about how it's a 78, and needs to be restored.

****. I drove to NC for a $5 pulled pork sandwich.

I think we all have had times like this.

Sounds like that car came from somewhere else before NC .
That far inland it "should" have been solid.
Must have previously been coastal - or a transplant.
I'm more in the mid-state section and those cars can stay rust free or minimal rust if kept decently around here.

Totally unreal that a bastard would let someone come from that far away with such a fake representation.
Ungodly Bastard
