Text from the seller, after 2 sleepless nights [him, not me], a few hours of inventorying spare parts, sending me pictures & video of the car he has decided to keep it. During that time I; arranged storage [as we're in the midst of a wonderful NY winter], arranged enclosed transportation from Oklahoma to upstate NY and transferred funds to get a bank check to send for the purchase. I had sent a deposit but has since been refunded... I even had my new NY vanity plate chosen: FairldyZ [EvilC already has Fairlady for his...].
I only hope he has the resources to properly restore then drive the car, as I had plans to. This is the 4th Fairlady to slip through my fingers over the past 10 years, just can't seem to catch a break.
So bummed...
