Update on my California car

[MikeA]

TXYenko,

Your story sounds similar to mine. I was going to buy a '70 Deuce and about two weeks before I was to go look/buy the car the guy decided not to sell!!

Hey guys, let's not forget that people do have the right to change their minds. It's not always a conspiracy, and , I think when prices are going up so fast on these cars, more people rethink their decision to sell, or, at least the price they may have quoted. As an example, I answered an ad for a car a few years ago that was in Hemmings for $28,000. Without knowing I was interested, a friend had called the seller and told him his car was worth much more. By the time I got to the seller he said Hemmings had misprinted the price, and, he actually wanted $48,000.! Just another way of saying he decided not to sell the car.

These things happen, maybe a call back in awhile may result in something positive. Do you have any info. you care to share with the researchers of the group, for documentation purposes? Info like data plates, vins, may help with "grouping" lot orders of COPO's. Did the widow indicate if she had any old pics of the car? If the nephew really is getting it, maybe he should be told of this site. It sounds to me like this car may have been a COPO at least. Please e-mail me if you desire, or others who have this interest. Maybe some of the members on this site can come up with another car for you to consider.

MikeA;
I think you need to call him again, maybe the crazy coot needs some Christmas money for his Niece!
