Thanks for the advice guys, but I honestly think that this guy doesn't want to sell it. He just doesn't want to admit it. I will give him a couple of days to make a counter offer.
It's a shame that a lot of people just let them sit and rot away, I know a guy thats let a '69 road runner sit and rot since 1975.. If you really want it I wouldn't give up until he says "it's not for sale"...
