Perhaps Joey can provide you with an audio transcript since the written stuff doesn't seem to register. ;)

Yeah, that's probably a crucial part of the transaction.
As I wrote, it is not safe. I have given it in the hands of the shipping company because their agent knows the local conditions better than me.
They will call the seller and clarify the conditions...

Yes, BUT!!!!
Does the seller know this or is he going to get a call out of the blue from some guy he has no idea of who he is?

No no, I told him that I commissioned a company and that this company would call him in my name.

In the meantime, somebody else shows at his door with cash in hand....
Doesn't sound to me like you have a commitment from the seller.
Did he say "YES! The car is yours." ?

Sure, that could happen, but I don't hope so!
I don't have a commitment from the seller, but it's not long ago that I told him that company think...
I can't do anything then hoping that all works well and I get this car!

Bad news.... -_-
The seller told me that the car is sold. A buyer pays cash by fedex... I don't know this option...
I hope the new owner wants not only the engine and trans...
So, the search continues -_-

I'm sorry you didn't get that one Julian. It just means there's a better one waiting for you. Hopefully the next one will be a clean LeBaron!

What kind of low down scumbag seller would do that.....?
After one week of negotiation, that's not decent. The only good thing in this is, that he told me he won't give it away for scrapping... According to his disclosures, the new owner will rebuild it from bumper to bumper.
In two weeks I'm on a 4 week vacation in the US for a roadtrip around florida and New York State. Maybe I find the right car sitting on the side of the road with a for sale sign in the window. :sad11:

Don't worry, I went through the same circus trying to buy a 70 Polara Custom HT from a guy out of Michigan. If trying to get hold of him wasn't bad enough, he too was deeply suspicious of "foreign" (I'm from Australia) buyers and after a couple of weeks of negotiation and arranging a means of paying cash, at the point of a virtual agreement someone else walked up and handed over cash for it (it was one of those dream finds IMO, so it had to happen). Bummer. However, the blessing in disguise was a more keen and trusting guy from Florida was happy to deal with me and I ended up with my first choice - a 70 300 HT.
