I just Picked up a 1980 Targa this afternoon. Told the seller on Sunday, before I ever saw the car, that she shouldn't sell it to me or to anyone else for the number she had in mind. She called me Wednesday and asked if I'd like to see and drive it, so I did. Although the car has some pretty significant paint issues, it runs and drives just fine. Pretty rough (although I've seen far, far worse) interior but good tires, recent clutch, fairly fresh Targa top rebuild and a few other recent items. When I got back from my test drive I told her again she was asking too little. I also told her that chances are, since I don't really have room for another car or time for another project that I'd probably just turn around and sell it. She said she was fine with that and offered it to me again. I said "deal" and we shook hands. However, even after that I asked her again, "Are you sure?" She assured me she was sure so we met up today and I gave her a check and brought the car home.
It appears I might on the verge of becoming one of those hated flippers ...
