Thanks to comments in this or a similar string I suggested to a friend of a friend that he get an independent inspector to look at his prospective cross-country purchase. The next day he sent this:

Turns out she was a scammer! As soon as I told her I was sending someone to look at the car, she ran. She won't respond to email or phone, I guess she was thinking to get me for the $2500 deposit and run. Thanks for the info, next week we have an auction coming, hopefully I can find what I want there and I will have my guy with me that knows it all.

There are some bad people out there.

There are plenty of Independent Adjusters and firms out there that specialize in Classic Cars. I would google I/A Firms+the state in which your looking, and you should find someone to go out and look at your car.

Dan, I had a proffesional inspector look at a Camaro I was interested in a while back because I did not have the time to make the 6 hr drive. I am so glad I did. For less than $200, I got a full and thoroug inspection. Many, many things that the owner or pictures did not reveal. That saved me $1000's in the long run.
