My dad found his dream car 6 months ago. 48 Anglia they said 1600 bucks he got the money went back and it was 2200 he went back sratched up the rest then gave them the money. Siting on the bumper proud as a pea**** waiting on the rollback that couldnt come for an hour and a half. The wife pulls up and says she thinks it is worth more and 2200 isnt enough. Dad the nice guy he is gets upset and says thats all it is worth to him and asks for his money back. He gets it and says it just wasnt meant to be. I could tell it crushed him though. His name around town has always been G***er Dave.

I took it upon myself to keep up with the car and even called as someone else to ask how much, they said 4200. I said they were crazy. I got a call from my buddy that works next door to the car and he said the price is 2500. and someone is looking at it seriosly. I went and looked at the car. It is set up for a SBC with a gl*** and metel nose. Fairly solidstock frame and front end. was street driven in the early 80s. It has the windsheild and all the gl*** but the two doors. What do you guys think it is worth. I need to know in a few hours. I will go to them give them the money and as soon as it is in there hands I will nextel the roll back siting around the corner to hook on to this ***** and go. I will get the ***le after I get it home. Is it worth 2500. That is the bottom doller. I want to get it for him for Xmas. I plan on having the famaly pitch in for it. I barrowed the money but if he gets mad that I bought it anyway can we move it for what I have in it. I know it is hard to tell without pics but what do you think.

The real deal is you or your dad would never have gotten that car or at least not at a legitmate price, its the oldest hustle in the book. You talk to 'em raise the cash and then the price goes up, then you get the extra cash and Momma rolls up and . . .

A year ago a friend of mine who hustles parts for a living had an all original, right steer, ***le, fire it up and drive it home '48 for 1,200. he was makin' money on it or he wouldn't have had it for sale.

I guess they could mhave gone up that much in a year.

I'm guessing at this but even if it's in the ladies name and the old guy is her husband does that make a difference legally? If they are married he may have some say in selling his wifes stuff. It will give guys a little something back. You know how some wives say I owne 50% because we are married maybe the old guy can say the same. Like I said I'm just guessing and digging for a safe angle for the buyer.

Its going down in the morning. The old guy that sold it to my dad is in bad health and in a wheel chair. He was with my dad when the wife came up and said no. I really think he feels bad. All he does is complain about his ***** wife and he promised me that she will take 2500. She still wants more but told him the bottom doller is 2500. He says it is in her name. She leaves for work at 9:00. He asks my buddie to help him do everything. He owns the property where my buddy works. I told the old man that I needed to think about it. Dave says he has left for the day so no one could get the car becouse they would have to go through him to get in touch with the old guy. I am going to show up after the wife leaves at 9:00 with the money and the bill of sale. The rollback will be around the corner on call. I will then go back to get the ***le if they try to jerk me around I will remove all the numbers and get a ***le from somewhere. The car is also going to a buddies race car shop to be guted cleaned and a cage put in. They wouldnt even begin to know where it was. My dad has done so much for me and this will be one of the nicest moments we will ever have when he gets it on Xmas morning. WISH ME LUCK!!

HEY WAIT - READ THIS AND THINK !

I do wish you luck on this but something caught my eye.
This guy said he would promise that the "Old *****" would take $ 2500. but added that the car is in her name so it really is her car and not his.
She and only she can sell the car to anyone.
He can take a dollar or ten thousand- IT DOESN'T MATTER.
The way she sounds, no telling what she wants for it.
The way he descibes the lady makes you think that the honeymoon has been over for 100 years.
If ,and I mean if he sells it to you and you get that car out of there WITHOUT the ***le signed from the lady then there could be heap big trouble.
Bill of sale by him DOES NOT MATTER.

IF YOU DON"T GET THE ***LE - DO NOT- DO NOT remove one number from that car or try to get a new ***le because the lady is the rightful owner and could have you and her loving husband arrested for stolen property and the way the relationship sounds I wouldn't bet against it.
Am I reading this all wrong guys ?

And you waiting untill she leaves doesn't look good either.

And stating that removing numbers and putting it where no one will find it doesn't look good either.

While your intentions for you Dad are honarable, removing numbers from a vehicle trying to get around a ***le issue is not, and who would want your Dad to get all the work done on the car only to have another person do a ***le claim and legal battle.

Do IT RIGHT.
Remember - it's for your Dad and he's priceless- Right ?

DO THE RIGHT THING.

Good Luck,
Cob

I think you want it so much you are considering comprimising your core values to get it. If I am wrong, then you don't care about theft unless you are the victim. I am not judging you, just trying to remind you if you don't believe theft is right then don't try to justify it this time, because that's what it is......

It's not going anywhere. We're the only ones who appreciate it. Of the 5% of males that know drag racing, 99% think it started with a '67 Camaro. Check back with her and then again in three months. While typing this I saw the HAMB motto at the bottom of the page. "Steal our stuff and we'll kick your teeth in." Last thing you want to do is invest thousands and find out the hubby is as crooked as the wife and they show up to reclaim "their" car.

Kinda makes you wonder how many "Bill of Sale" cars out there that got re-***led with the "Original ***led owner" looking to claim their car.

I don't think I'll ever buy a car again that does not have a ***le.

Last one was a coupe body and frame that had been sitting for over 50 years but anything that runs/wheels/tires and drivable - NO WAY Jose.

The hastle isn't worth it. Even those cheap *** 32's !
