Am I asking too much? 1965 Dart 270

It is also the holiday season, as well as a lot of lay-offs/closings are being announced. Tough time of year to be selling. Might end up with a black 1994, 65K mile, V-12, S600 Mercedes sedan. An older lady brought it to my buddy's shop to fix the RR window regulator and a servicing atleast 3 months ago. He has called, e-mailed, and then finally went to her house. She claimed she would be in last Friday or Saturday to pay the bill- never showed. He called her Monday, she wouldn't pick up or return the call. So the lein gets completed on December 6th and I'll get it for the bill and a little extra...$2K. And the odd part is this is an older woman who has money, there are no houses in her neighborhood under $1.5 million. My dad might just get the best Christmas gift ever!
