Another neighbor. I live about 5 min up 28.
Will the guy let you get it MD inspcted prior to purchase. You'll have to do it anyway to get it registered. Technically I think it's the sellers' responsibility. I know the owner of the Darnestown Shell. I'm not sure if they do the inspections on Saturday, but if they do It would be money well spent especially since you will also be able to get it up on a lift and get a list of whatever is wrong from a safety standpoint. The Seller would have some respect for the report. You could work things out if something needs to be fixed.

On top of that inspection do the compression and leakdown.
Also do what you can to check the VIN number, engine and trans numbers to see if the Vin matches the title and the engine matches what should be in that year car. Many engines have been replaced over this many years.

I should be arround on Saturday and may be able to get out depending on the time.
