Whenever you buy a car -- you start at a number of a car that needs nothing -- and then start subtracting from the price everything that it needs to arrive at what the car you're looking at is worth.

Or call him again and let him know you're seriously considering it and be upfront with him, tell him your concerned about his towing statement. Let him know you understand it's a 40+ year old car with potentially numerous issues and would appreciate his honesty, then ask him what potential issues would concern on a 4 hour drive. Trans, motor, rear end, wheel bearings, cooling system, electrical? Could be minor or major.

I will definitely give him a call and inquire some more. What is you guys opinion on the Hagerty price/estimates? Are they legit and something to go by or BS? Here's what I'm talking about
