LSM360 -- I so agree.
I had a silver 1977 cordoba sitting out in west texas about 6 years ago and was willing to pull the trigger on it BUT....
1. no title (owner died) .... I'll take it anyway (another week goes by)
2. no keys, but I promise it runs ..... riiight, but i'll take it anyway (another week goes by)
3. one flat tire and no way to get in the trunk (cause keys are missing)
4. no way to get it out of the carport unless you dead drag it -- too much clutter to get a dolly under the front.
No answer for another 3 weeks.
Cousin agrees to go get it ... no answer
I contacted the local sheriff's office there and talked to one of the officers. He said 'Are you coming alone? Cause even the sheriff's office won't go to that area of the county alone.'
Just walked away from it.
