They actually came by today. Super nice people, took some pics, I took them for a test drive. They were happy with it, so I get a call from mr. Olaf and he gets super excited and wants to buy it. Man I really hate too. Supposedly it's gonna take the car 6 weeks to get to him from here, and cost the same amount as car. I think it's pretty neat it's making such a journey. He wants to stay in touch and email back and forth. Says maybe in a year or so if I get another maybe he can buy another from me, or if I want a european car haha. He had some requests that if I had any old car magazines laying around if I was wanting to get rid of to put in car lol. It's very interesting to talk to someone in a different world, there's definitely a barrier, he often has to translate some words or doesn't understand something I say. I said "sounds good" one time and his response was "what de sound Goode mean". I told him it was like saying okay, and his response was "oh okay, I see, that sounds...very...Goode." haha
About what you were saying Loring about the European American car collectors, the lady I met with today said that having an old American car over there is kind of a status symbol. Olaf also told me he's never seen a American car without an "oil spot" under it lol. I was in new Orleans last weekend do y'all still live there?

Jacob,
I would suggest having several of your friends accompany you when you meet
this person or persons...as it is good to have company when dealing business
with strangers.

Hey Jacob
Usually scammers do not
negotiate at all and nobody ever looks at the car. They offer to pay the asking
price and send the shipping money that you are supposed to "foward" to the
shipping company along with a "bonus " for your trouble.. Sounds legit to me
especially with somebody wanting to inspect the car and pay cash. And they will
do the shipping etc. A friend of mine in Orlando sold his Challenger clone RT to
a guy in Belgium and it went like your sale is going and it was very good for
all. There is a lot of classic American car collectors in Europe and spend the
money for what they want. What are you going o look for to replace it?? My wife
(from New Orleans) is disappointed you are selling the 880 so keep us informed
of the replacement OK.

Craziest thing happened these last few days.
Got a call from a guy in Germany, named Olaf, about my dodge 880 for sale.
Talked to the guy for about 20 min, he has some family that lives about an hour
from me, and was looking for something around them mid 60s to ship to Germany.
Thinking it was a scam or something I didn't pay any attention to it and went on
my way. He kept calling over a few days so I finally answered and wanted
to see if he was real. I asked a bunch of questions. Turns out he's a car
collector, of sorts. His brother and his wife are coming to look at my car
Monday, and once they approve, since he's already hapoy with all the pictures
and info I've sent, they will pay me cash money. The car will then be driven
back to Lafayette, then a shipping company will take car to new Orleans to the
port to ship to Germany. I couldn't believe the price of shipping a car
overseas, 5000 or 6000 dollars. He's sent me a lot of pictures of the
cars he has now. Some nice old Mopars too. A Plymouth fury, coronet, some darts.
All mid 60s. He recently sold a couple and is looking for a nice 4 door to enjoy
with his kids. My car was in his price range with shipping, and he's been
looking for a while. I'm still very skeptical about it, just seems with
all the scammers etc these days you can't really believe anyone. Why I was
surprised when he said his brother will pay me with cash. The family contacted
me about meeting and I'm definitely not gonna meet at my house just in case LOL.
We shall see what this turns out to be. We did negotiate a little lower than
what I was originally asking, another sign this may be real? Who knows. But I
ain't signing or doing anything unless I got some Green in my hands :) just
thought I'd tell this story. Sent from my iPhone --
