You say serious buyer's ...
but have they shown you the folding money ..?
I am supposing not ..
So they must be your typical so called tyre kickers.

$80K is a decent investment so wanting to come and have a look and make sure it is "exactly" what you want is reasonable I think.

I sold 2 other genuine Sandmans in the last 6 years for what was really good money back then, one in particular was a fantastic car (side bar - who knew they would sky rocket) and I always found that the people who came to see you were 9 times out of 10 genuine and no test pilots.

The texters and phone callers on withheld numbers with diagnoses of various stages of cancer not so genuine.

Just my experience.

Yeah it seems more like serious lookers. You only have one serious buyer, they lay down the money. If it was an auction you might have a couple of serious bidders.
Ultimately, if you don’t hand over the money your nothing but a tyre kicker.
80k is a lot of money for any 40 odd year old car. With a federal election looming and the prospect of losing negative gearing, I feel there could be a check in luxury investments like old cars with a small market. House prices are on the slide already, but who knows, Sandmans might go up further too.
I own my ute because I love it and the value is never going to be the reason for owning it. Otherwise I wouldn’t have kept it for twenty years I guess.

I wasn’t trying to find anything. I was looking at the pics and it stuck out like dogs balls that’s all. Point being that if you can’t even get that right on a resto you’re asking 80k on................we’ll do you want to see the rest ?? LoL.

Yep, agreed, upside down bezels sure sign to not buy.
