As I posted before ... it has worked out ok. I've talked to the buyer and
we are resolving the issue. But, I got a little bit smarter.

I wasn't going to say anything only because this has happened to me
once and I didn't want to pile on.

When I sold my '70 440 GTX, the buyer asked me to leave the title
blank as he was going to register it under his company name. I didn't
see anything wrong with that - like you we had an extensive
conversation about the car and I received the impression that he
wanted it for his collection. He gave me a story about how he had his
cars insured through his business, etc. Nice guy, pleasant and
seemingly honest. Paid cash.

Turns out he was both a collector and a dealer from Manchester, CT. He
bought the car for a client who paid a third more than the guy paid
me.

How I found out about it was interesting. I took the 'Vette to a
classic car show down in Norwich, there was the GTX parked about three
cars from me with the new owner proud of his "one owner" car he found
in Manchester. Apparently, there is a "thing" about one owner
classics which I never knew. If I had signed the title over to the
dealer, it became a "two owner" car technically.

Like Chuck said, I got what I wanted out of it, but that still doesn't
mean that you feel like you've been had.

Oh well. :)
