Update? I'm in the same boat. Looking for a car for quite a while now.
The deal is still on. I'm going with my friend in his truck this Saturday. We're going to pick up the trailer, that I already called ahead and reserved a couple days ago, which is only 10 miles from the guy's house and then we're going to pick up the car and hopefully be home by 4-6PM. I've already insured the car through Hagerty. Once I get the car home and in my garage i'm going to make an appointment/send the registration and bill of sale(which has to be notarized) to the MVA for street rod tags and once I get the tags i'll be ready to take the car out. I forgot to reset coverage from a previous quote, so coverage starts 1/29, no big deal though, i'm not in any hurry. I will post some pictures when I get the car.
