    More details:

    Coach exceeded my friend's expectation in person. This is original paint and has never been messed with. Also confident that the undercarriage has the original undercoating. There are a couple small areas of rust that are "measured in centimeters."

    Didn't get to drive this or even hear it run. No longer licensed and no battery. Given everything else that the seller has stated as being truthful, my friend that viewed and myself have no reason to believe otherwise that it does indeed run, although now for whatever reason there is no gas tank.

    This '59 Superior is in Mexico. Part of the reason the seller wants prepayment is because of the cost and time associated to transport to the US. That's right - he's willing to organize logistics to a point of entry in either Laredo, TX or San Diego, CA. He is not about to undertake such a trip only to have someone not show up or try to negotiate price after doing so. That $7k price is *more* than fair and this amount of pictures should quell naysayers as there are no surprises or scams.

    Now because the seller thought this was going to be a quick sale, he had the time and was going to deliver the coach through customs and repatriotize this '59 himself - taking Mexican logistics off the buyer's mind. Work is picking up however and he may not have the time to do so. $7k hasn't changed but if he can't afford the time to do so personally, a small transport charge may occur. (No, this doesn't change my finder's fee.) Even better? My friend that took all these pictures (who has references, btw) can act as liason if someone is uncomfortable sending payment. That means wiring money to a US bank account so there is recourse. What more can you ask for???

    Again, the remaining 174 pictures are here:



    I do not think this will last long now, assuredly. Good luck!

        For those of you thinking about this, Carl Warner @ CW Coach has recommended Donnie Nolan for transport. I spoke to Donnie and he said right now $1.25/mile for estimates. He periodically goes to Laredo anyway and if someone doesn't need this immediately, he can do better on a combined trip.

          It does look quite nice.

          Had I not 1000 things on my plate and a bill that big for all my work on mine so far.

          If it ends up as advertised that will be an incredible car again one day.

              If I get a buyer for my Lotus I will be interested, till then my hands are tied.

              And not in that "What are you doing Mistress?" happy way. LOL

                Sad to say that Fransisco has sold the car locally for his full asking price. I have the name of the new owner but am not inclined to follow up further at this point because the price will go up.

                Translation: Mexicans don't typically have a pot to piss in and their economy piggybacks ours. The fact that one of them bought this validates that it was under priced.

                Snooze and lose - nothing new here.

                  Yeah, still I would have wanted to come to visit with cash in hand before paying before I was there to see it.

                  There will always be another.

                  Even at that rarity, it will just take time.
