When dad was buying his 86 cab back in January, I got a local Pelican to have a look and then arranged a PPI through recommendations here and on dorkiphus.com.

Dad bought the car sight unseen, based on the opinion of the pelican who saw it, the shop that did the PPI and my advice... even though I hadn't seen it either. The car was as good or better than described.

The trick is finging a seller you feel comfortable with, and a shop you can really trust. If you can do that, buying from the US is a no-brainer... especially with a 93 cent dollar.
