Just saw the video you posted. Thank you very much for your time and help. Car looks clean to me as well. For everyone on this board Rafs-T-Type was a true gentlemen and stepped up to help me. I'm in California (los angeles area) and I would gladly step up if anyone needs any type of assistance. Thank you.

Turboburick, would you be willing to inspect this car for me? Looks really nice but is it.
I live in Huntley, and not too long ago I looked at a Typhoon for a guy in California which he ended up not buying based on what I found. LMK .

Either shady, or he doesn't really want to sell it. One thing I've definitely learned though is too follow your instinct. Since it's not for sale on Tb.com he's probably hoping someone buys it that doesn't really know what they're getting. Maybe not, but don't be shady then right? Good luck finding a nice car. There's plenty out there

I bought a decent T for $9k that I knew needs the motor to be gone through. Solid car, no rust, but have a lot in to it now that I built the motor. If you can find one for $15-16K with a solid motor, I think that's definitely the route to go... Unless you're looking for a show car which is a whole different ball game. Good luck...
I haven't met him in person, but have talked with him in the past. I know he has a really good reputation around here though. He probably thought he was in Wisconsin coming all the way up here. Haha!

It wasn't a private seller. And when a car only has 36k on it there's a good chance you haven't seen it on the road
. Anyway I took a quick look at the car and it seemed pretty great, but no way someone should drop 25-30k site unseen without having someone with expertise look at it and take it for a ride. I know it sucks there may be salt on the road, but the place also details and has a lift. Wash it off good when you get back if you have to. I'm not sure why they would me check it out, but not Rick.From the pics it looks fantastic. Don't know about rust, engine and tranny. I got nervous so I pulled out. Later, the guy was telling me to send my guy and before he sold it to someone else would give me another opportunity to but it. it was too late by then. Went with my instinct. Just hope I didn't miss out on a good car

I'm kinda glad you passed. Something was sitting a little funny in my stomach after a while. I forget exactly where you said you were from but you may want to get in touch with Papa Lou over there in SoCal and ask him to keep an eye out for what you're looking for. Everyone seems to love hime over there on the West Coast. - http://www.turbolou.com/Home.html
