That fact that he is selling the vehicle as a "parts car" probably covers
him from a legal standpoint.  I'm sure that whatever bill of sale he
provides clearly states that the vehicle is being sold for parts only.  What
the new owner does with it is up to them.

What bothers me is that he provides no warning as to what kind of problems
the buyer is facing upon purchase.  Shady little comments like, "we have not
got around to restoring it yet" and, "too many projects on hand" are
misleading.

I sent him mail yesterday asking about importation documents and what's been
done and he has yet to respond and I'll bet he doesn't respond.

Still watching the auction though...

This guy is fairly well-known on the yahoo! diesel list, helpful there
and so forth, a lot of people have bought parts and engines from him
with no complaints I know about.
