Anyone in St. James, Long Island?

Hey Guys,

So after spending a hundred bucks for the Garaj in Dayton to poke around at rust last Monday, I am again on the hunt. Have sort of a dilemma here, I am going to look at a 1970 911t mated with a 3.2 and a 930 4-speed transmission (3.2 excites me). It looks like its in nice shape, and the seller has disclosed some floor pan rust problems. I was going to go see it this weekend for a personal inspection until the seller wrote me back the following in response to me asking about possibly a inspection on Monday,

"I am not available nor the car will leave my possession on Monday or any other day. If you like the car buy it on the spot. The car is not registered and cannot drive it legally on the road."

Seems a little reluctant to have a proper inspection done to me. He did say that it could be driven in the neighborhood. The car is located in St. James Long Island (near port jefferson), any early 911 experts live around the area and are up for a ppi on sat? Anyone know of any garages in that immediate area?(thinking maybe he'll do a short tow)

Very close to the area not super familiar to do a PPI on an early car.

If the guy won't let you have the car taken to a shop for a proper PPI, I'd pass. What's he hiding?
