I agree with Bill, what will be will be!! if things in life are meant to happen then they will. I was chasing the '69 Camaro I nowown,2 years ago, the guy was desperate to sell & only wanted $6500.00 for it. He had receipts for $19250.00 for all of the new parts he'd bought for it, plus the original $4500 he paid for the car as an rust free original 40,000 mile ex drag racer. I tried to sell my Bullnose Trans Am race car to fund buying it, but I got messed about & decided not to sell it. I still wanted that Camaro, but couldn't justify having having more cars (already had 5, with no spare room for any more). A year later, my cicumstances changed & I was offered what I considered stupid money for my T/A. Out of curiosity I rang the guy with the Camaro to see what happened to it. Yup, he still had it, seems everyone was put off by the amount of work needed to put it back together & finish it. he wanted his garage back to build a train set in it ???, & yes it was for sale for $4500.00, if I could take it away the next weekend. Well, ....does a one legged duck swim in circles?? I paid the guy the money & it's now mine. moral of the story...."if it's meant to be it's meant to be".
I know it woulda been nice to get the water damaged car, but as has been already mentioned, it might not have been all you think it was. your time will come, far better to save your pennies 'til that day comes, put out the word for what you're after & see what turns up. You're in the right place with the guys on this forum & who knows, maybe someone here will find the car of your dreams,....best of luck.
