question: best way to exchange money/title?

[SUPERSPORT]

Rick,
The best way to protect both parties in a transaction, is to use an escrow service as a type of mediator. The escrow service will act on your behalf and would in your case, hold the title for the vehicle, and also hold the funds. Once you have received the vehicle and you are satisfied, you then notify the mediator that the transaction was successful. The title is then released to you, and the funds to the seller. Find an escrow service by using any search engine on the internet and type in "ESCROW SERVICES."
Good Luck!

I think that "escrow service" is a great idea!

if you can go see the car, its worth the plane ticket depending on how much you are spending, in these days i'm sure its a lot. i bought one over the phone and the seller always misses or fails to tell you something on purpose or not. i also had a car sold and the buyer had a transporter that didn't understand a concourse restoration and turned me down on a car he later found out he should have looked at himself. the car was a 2 time national show winner with a senior badge. the transporter hardly looked at the undercarriage or under the hood all he lokked at was the paint and picked the car apart. we all know what paint jobs looked like in the muscle car years. your eyes see everything differently than everyone else unless you have a restoration person look at it that really knows what needs to be done.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm not to worried about the condition of the car since
it's really a project car needing a fully restoration. In the pictures I've seen what I was most interested in is there.
If I was laying out big money I would invest in a plane ticket, or a long drive.

Thanks again, Rick
