Did i just buy a '78 Champaigne Edition?

Jason,

First off, how much is owed to the towing company?  That would be the first
factor. Second, I agree with Nate and Larry on this one. Get the deal done
first and then pick up the car. I am skeptical of people to begin with, but
this one has "funky" written all over it. 

If the car can be had for cheap from the owner, get title in hand and head
over the storage place and pick it up.

Just my $0.02

BTW, Sweet find.

Dave

I agree with Nate:
 Have the deal done and the signed-over title in hand before you claim the
car from impound.  
You may not even be able to get it otherwise!!

 My suggestion: tell the guy to GIVE you the car, and then you'll be
responsible for claiming it.  Otherwise, he'll be responsible for a
continuously-escalating storage bill that will soon reach a higher value
than the car is worth (if it hasn't already!!)

  Yesterday i flagged this guy down on the road on my way home from work and

  talked to him for an hour or so, gave him my number in case he wanted to 
  sell it at some point and we parted ways.
  Today, he called me back and the car had died on the side of the road and
he 
  was fed up with it.  He told me that i could pay to hock it out of the tow

  yard (only .25miles from my shop where i work on my dubs) and then we
could 
  work out price later.  Its looking like i will have to pay a min of $200
for 
  the car  He told me that it was a southern or western car or somthing and 
  had been in a garage for a long time.  His uncle gave it to him for free 2

  years agao and he daily drove it through 2 vermont winters... its got some

  rust, but not bad.  He told me it was a '78 champaigne edition.  Ive heard

  of this before but never researched.

  This car is white with some black striping.  It has the remnents of what 
  looks to be an "S" spoiler.  It has the same style wheels that the S came 
  with.  The seats are black cloth HIGH bolster with a quarteroy looking 
  material in the centers.  Whats the deal, what else can y'all tell me?  Il

  post pics as soon as i can get em off my camera.  il also let y'all know
how 
  much i end up having to pay.
