Thanks , I am looking for the original switch for a '40 Ford. The original one looks similar to the dash light dimmer switch, mounts on the lip of the dash and the beige knob sticks down through the lip.
I would handle this as Gumpy stated. If you offer him 2500, he will do as I have done in the past, escort you to the door, and bid you farewell. You most likely will have to pay 20k +for the car. I sold one like this a while back in that price range and it was not as good as this one looks.
