Perfect example why a PPI ( Pre Purchase Inspection) is mandatory.

Had this almost happen to myself on a 1969 Jaguar XKE FHC ( Fixed Head Coupe), I purchased from eBay.

Flew from San Francisco to Nebraska to personally inspect the Jaguar prior to finalizing the payment, let's just say the Jaguar was NOT as described & purchase price was adjusted accordingly.

Understand your position being different, logistics wise.

I've joined various car clubs prior to purchasing my car/s of interest & paid various highly knowledgeable car owners to do a PPI for me.

Had Excellent results following this procedure.
