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.

I think you stole it. That thing would have to be a total pile of junk to not be worth at least that.

Great score, good for you! And sorry for you AK...........

Who was the dealer in kelowna selling it.Looks like some high end type vehicles their.

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

nice ride.

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!

        How far, was the car from you?

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  

Rick

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.
