Default Re: WTB advice please!!

If the existence of a salvage title was not disclosed in the first discussion you had and you discovered that fact in a Carfax search, I'd not buy the car because, up front, the seller concealed the fact that it was a salvage.

A sign of how unsafe buying, selling and auctioning can sometimes be is that it went though Barret/Jackson twice with sellers claiming it was "like new" and "original".

If you're still wiling to risk the purchase...I'd have a someone with a lot of experience inspect the car looking for 1) hidden collision damage and 2) look for the VIN stamped on various parts of the car making sure what's stamped there is the same as the VIN plate at the base of the left A-pillar.
