Urgent Car help Needed in Clearwater, FL

[Baja Fresh]

My boss wants me to go look at a 64 GTO in Clearwater, FL this weekend. The seller won't hold it any longer so I have to fly out Friday night and arrive 10AM. Then rent a car and drive to Clearwater to inspect the car. If it's as advertised he'll finish the deal and I fly back at 4:30PM. So, if someone that is car knowledgable can look at it before this weekend it will save my boss some $ and me a bunch of seat time on a commercial flight. I'm sure my boss would compensate you for your time and effort. Thanks!

I'll give you a call. If I had more time I would be looking for a boat ride, not a car inspection! :sifone:

I've seen Dave's work. In fact, I send my work to him. And I refer my friends to him.

 

[glassdave]

if the deal is right maybe we should buy it out from under his boss?

Dave - please let me know first hand how the inspection goes at DDs and what is for sale...:drool5:

I could be wrong, but I think its because he is from California maybe?

 

[Baja Fresh]

Yup, I'm in CA. Unfortunately, Dave can't make it there until Sunday and we need to to the deal on Sat. They just booked a flight for me so I'm going redeye, midnight from LAX to Tampa at 10:15AM. At least it's 1st class so I can stretch out a little and get some sleep. I'll leave back out at 4:40PM. I sure wish I could take the week off and head down to Miami or at least get a little water time in. We are just so busy now I can't take any time off. With the bleak future looming, I need to make bank now while we can. It may all dry up soon!

Thanks for everyone's efforts on this!

 

[PARADOX]

Sorry.

My first car was a 65 GTO that I got in 1972. I put a 421 in it with an M-22 and 12 bolt with 4.11 gears. Gas was only about 30 cents a gallon then! I don't think it got any worse mileage than my 8.1 Avalanche does!

call todd werner at protoyz in st pete. he can look at it for you. and no one knows classics like todd

Out of curiosity how much is the owner asking? While I was going to school in Denver (late 70's) I almost bought a '64 w/tri power from a used car lot. The price tag was $800.00. Talk about a kick in the arse.

 

[high-tide]

I am less then 10 miles away. If you want I can look at the car for you. I am in the business and hold a license. You can check us out on the web. BGRSA.com. Let me know, if you need any further help. Good luck with the purchase. David
