you! ...i called and left a message thursday afternoon, i was going to buy it sight unseen... i didnt get a return call, i know why now!hahaha! i was looking for simple convert. driver...
From the pictures (I had him take a bunch more) it looked good enough to take a chance on it. I will see it when it gets delivered. Got the bill of sale this afternoon and arranged insurance. Monday I will confirm the car carrier. They quoted 7 to 10 days for delivery. We will know how good a deal it is when we see it.
ak 67 AK: I emailed at 6:00 am Thurs morning and by 8:30 am we had a deal. Wired the cash at 1:00 pm. You snooze you loose. Or maybe you save your hard earned money.
At the price it was worth a chance since I could use it as a parts car if worst comes to worst. I think the I will beg forgiveness from the "boss" for buying a parts car without her permission.

yeah not a biggie...I'm glad someone on here got it! I was wondering if it was a b.s. ad to get the owner to pay up on his debt!...then i saw the 'cancelled' text by the price... i procrastinate on purpose sometimes, it does save me money and space in the garage and work (i'm getting lazier in my old age!hahaha!)... if its something i really want, i'd move on it (like a 67!). I'm tossing up a 350z roadster or an old car driver...not sure if i want to live without the creature comforts of a new car for a daily driver...
cool grab.. it used to belong to a girl by the name of Nancy I believe.. she was looking for parts a couple of years ago.. I guess she found it easier to sell the car.. LOL
Hey Kelly, We should know some time next week how good a deal it is. How about your 65 ragtop adventures. It sounds like you picked up a car. Any good? I have heard rumblings that between us we have more than 4 cars. What do we need for parts? I won't know much until next week about the ragtop.

Hi Rick.. well... here's what happened. I've been looking for a 65 SD rag for a long time.. and I know a couple of guys that have them, but never willing to sell.. or one guy wants so much for a shell that I may as well forget it. 2 weeks ago I get a call from one of the guys (I've known in the neighborhood for over 20 yrs) and he asks me if I want to buy his car. (His is a 65 SD 6cyl Conv.) 5000.00 so I bought it. it's completely apart and needs a total resto.. no original engine or tranny.. but all there.. emblems, interior, power top, etc.. ALL THERE.. and for 5k. THEN!!!! a day later I get an email from our president in Victoria, Don Earnshaw, about a car on the Island (some of you may have gotten the letter too). A 65 SD Rag V8 car.. numbers matching 283 2spd. 15000.00. what are the chances of 2 coming available in 2 days? So I called, and I was the first guy to call out of over 50 people.. I just got back on Sunday with a trailer full of parts.. It's in peices as well.. A LOT OF PEICES!!! the engine and tranny is supposed to be fresh. (they're painted anyway..lol)
I may end up selling the V8 car (only 336 made).. just because I'm not a body man, and being into the body on my hard top car for over 30k now.. I know it will be another expensive resto.. well worth it. but the 6 cyl car can become an 8 cyl quite easily.
so I have 3 65 SD's at the moment.. must be nuts hey?
I knew it. I figured someting was fishy. AK and i were talking about it. Good thing he didn't persue it further. Can't wait to hear the final story. Hope you are not out a bunch of money. yikes!

yeah hope it gets resolved! and that you are not out the $$...you'll have to share the story after... early bird gets the worm, but who the hell wants to eat worms?
The car was in Kelowna. I am in Calgary. I bought it sight unseen other than many pictures and discussions with the seller. Car carrier was supposed to pick it up today or Monday. A friend saw the car and GM Vintage Vehicle Services have sent me the vehicle details.
I am not prepared to outline specifics until I see how this shakes out.
There will be a story to follow, sometime in the future.

I received a refund cheque today. As promised cheque was dated October 3rd. Put in the mail that day . Postmark Oct 8th Dealer was saving me problems because vehicle was reported stolen.
No police report of being stolen No ICBC report of being stolen
Maybe someone else offered more money
Looking for reason to beg forgiveness

Todd, you're right that things happen for a reason. I didn't need the car and was taking a chance. Now that I have my money back!!!! it's OK. Having said that, it p*ss%s me off when someone welshes (sp) on a deal.
