I think we've all heard that excuse a few times!! Sad isn't it? I love how people cherish these old heapes so much that they'd rather see them turn into a pile of dust rather than sell them. Great find though and don't give up. Be persistant! Check in with the guy every now and then. He might give in eventually. I'm gonna say that second set of pictures is of a very late 20's or early 30's Dodge. Based on the rims and the overall shape of the body. That old car has alot of potential left.
