kgard, if the guy didn't leave a deposit, even a small one, there is always a chance he may change his mind and the car will be yours. If not, then keep an eye out for another solid project car.

Mopars use to be pretty much ignored just ten years ago, but they have gotten more popular in the past 5 or 6years, most likely due to the fact that they are all vintage tin, not glass. But there are alot of other old cars that were once unpoputar (in some cases still) that can make great rods. Especially Studes, Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs, Buicks, Caddies, Desoto's and Packards from the late 30's and 40's. Many are 4 doors, but there are still a lot of 2 doors around as well. Hang in there, you'll find something you like.
