I agree. Though I have a natural bias against dealers, Duffy's seems
like one of the better ones for sure, and their Ebay feedback seems to support
that. (We live in Iowa and have been there a few times for fun.) And
though Neil makes a good point about a car's driving condition, I've also come
to learn that cosmetics--especially things like interior/dash/chrome, etc.--are
much more costly to restore than mechanical items. It does look like a
sharp car!

Lancer
I bought my '55 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe Newport from Duffy's in
1996. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend
them, and would gladly buy from them again. My car was exactly as
they described it (maybe even better) and was priced very fairly. I
purchased my car sight-unseen and when it arrived, I liked it even better than
I had hoped for. It still looks and runs great and I'm still loving it
to this day. Duffy's was honest and reliable to deal with, and is a
"class act" (if things are still as they were in 1996).
That Dodge looks nice and the price seems
right.

the 'highly-acclaimed' Duffy's doesn't seem to have confirmed that

I would prefer to
buy a car from a long-time private owner; they tend to
be honorable and
have
a personal interest in their car going to a good
new-owner.
At the least, they should be able to discuss and document
the upkeep and
maintenance of their car,
because its primary
consideration should be in its driving condition,
rather than how pretty
its
paintwork might be.
