I would think that one would examine the car BEFORE one purchases it? Doesn't that make sense?

Brooklyn is not down the block from me. Maybe Detomasos & Delorians will want to look at it. He is in Queens. PM him.

What good is having anyone other then a high roller resto shop "examine" it is beyond me. (No offense intended to you D & D). Those are the guys you want to hear from. A Ferari shop from the "Island" maybe.

I would personally expect this to be a quite expensive physical examination. No one is going to do a consult for free on it. How do you intend to make the seller cooperative?

I have done this in the past and it was a threatening experience. I don't like looking at the owners gun collection.

Personally I would take the negative Ebay feedback and walk away.

Buy something that is backed by someone with integraty like PI.

Why buy a $30,000 bill of goods and find out it isn't worth half of that?

It was my understanding that it already had some kind of a low ball junk yard engine in it when Canadian Andrew sold it. He took the killer engine out of it.

If it was really a nice car would it keep coming up on Ebay?

As far as examining the sheetmetal work, YOU CAN'T without taking the car apart. The gas tank conceals the 1/4 panel. The front tire has to be removed.
The carpets have to be pulled up and probably the headliner removed.
The owner is going to agree to this?
Are you guys kidding or what?
