Hello I am trying to decide whether to buy a 1971 Indy Challenger 318 engine car in Indiana or possibly something like the red / black hardtop at Smokey Mountain Traders.com site (Ebay listing for closed auction is
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-Dodge-Challenger-/142327798333?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=L4pu9KBUaiXEMnRlqHadOnMWUKQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc)
It looks good to me (a relative novice to E Body cars - I have been a C body type for many years) but not wanting to pay their close to $60k asking price. They say they have well over $50k in the car. Last auction ended at $35,000 which seems more than reasonable if it is as good as it looks. I am in FL and cannot easily fly up there to look at it unless I know it is a really good car. Do any of you experts live near there who would be willing (for a reasonable fee of course) to check it out at a mutually agreeable time with the seller. They have some nice looking cars on their site but not sure if any of you know if they are reputable or a place to avoid.
Thank you for your consideration. Have a great weekend.
