Sorry I haven't had a chance to reply just yet... was this the car in the Clackamas area? If so, when I looked at it I could readily see the new paint on the car and the front fenders just didn't look "right". He told me on the phone that the car was owned for several years by his father who had moved from California. Funny enough... he also told me his father couldn't show me the car personally because he was a pastor at a local church and church was in session. After looking at the car, he couldn't locate the title and he told me that it had a "rebuilt" title because the engine had been rebuilt. Huh?
Either way, sorry to be the bearer of bad news... I was afraid it might be the same car...
