I accepted a deposite to buy my 63 K code today. On a bright note, those that know the history of my Kar will be happy to know. It is being returned to its' rightfull heirs.
That is kind of cool that he is getting it back. Did you look to sell it to him first?
I have a 67 Camaro convertible SS that has the vin on the motor and is very original and the guy I bought it from six years ago asked if he could have first dibs on the car if I sell it and if I ever do, he will get first shot at buying it.
