Default Anyone In Fort Worth?

My daughter is interested in a '65 Mustang in Fort Worth. Is there anyone close enough to check out the car? If not, does anyone know about the business Streetside Classics?

Yes, I live in the mid cities between Fort Worth and Dallas and call Fort Worth my home. Happy to help if I can.

Thanks for the offer. My son-in-law just set up a professional appraisal for Tuesday. Hopefully it is a good as it looks.

OMT,

I set up a "professional" appraisal and all I got was a pile of pictures and little real information. You're best bet is to take someone up on looking for real problems that you request. Just my opinion though..

I knew nothing about this dealership until this post. They are located on the north side of Fort Worth, adjacent to the under construction interchange at I35W and Loop 820. Great looking website, the building itself appears to be in a fairly new industrial park at that location. A quick www search turned up this site: http://streetsideclassicsbeware.com/
so not all happy customers as could be expected for any car dealer.

I scanned through that website, and noted that all the complainers bought the car without seeing it first. I may make a deposit, but I'd never pay for a car before I've seen it in person.

The appraiser did an excellent job. He sent us 137 detailed pictures plus notes. As you might expect, there were issues with the car. We're passing on this one.
