Thanks for everyone's response! Your info is invaluable!! A pre-thanks for anyone else who responds!

I tried to call him back today but he is out of town until next Monday...so the purchase is on hold for another week and a half. However, I did talk to someone else and they were pretty sure it was an eBay purchase. All he could verify or remember is that the current owner put new tires on it. He mentioned that the owner likes to buy cars, fiddle around with them for a while and them sell them.

If I decide not to buy it, I'll definitely post it in here incase anyone else is interested.
