Went to NJ today to see this one. Car had sat in the driveway under a car cover for 10 years. Seller told me she had trailer'd it to a restoration shop and they said it was too far gone. Car bent when she unloaded it in the driveway. She had told me the interior was pristine. It was a moldy mess. She said the wheels were worth well over $800. I offered her some money for the twin rear view mirrors but she was still too emotionally attached to sell any parts. Forgot to get vin - sorry Andy. Will probably sit for another 10 years.

She contacted me wanting to know if it was worth restoring. I have more pics of that one if anyone wants to see it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

She told me it has some surface rust so I gave her your info. She was right. The rust is on every surface. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Wow that's kind of a weird rust pattern. Never seen the whole cowl go like that. The cover must have absorbed water or trapped it there.

Still, it MIGHT buff out... bad camera angle maybe? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Still has some good parts. That's a $300 East coast car. It would be free on the West coast. Actually, over here the owner would pay us to take it away. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'd pay 200 for the wheels, but I don't want the hulk.

Sad! But we need the VIN to retire it.

Was that a 2.0 Liter car? I love it when you drive a good distance only to find the car EXTREMELY misrepresented in the prior conversation with the seller. I drove an hour once and found one sitting on its belly like that. I stayed 10 minutes and drove back home...slightly steamed.

It is slowly returning into its natural unrefined state of dust in the earth...

BTDT but I knew this one was bad before I took the hour drive. I was planning on buying as a parts car but seller has been looking at unsold ebay BIN prices and thinks everything is worth a mint. Sure the bumper pads are nice but not 400 nice and who's going to remove the rusty bumper to then be able to get to the nuts on the pads, only to have the studs break off the metal strip. Stopped at my mom's house for dinner then home so the trip was a positive for me.

Why don't you find her a nice solid 914?

I'm sure she wants "her" old car but if she was thinking about restoring that one she must have a nice budget. She could have the replacement re-painted to match her old car.

The price for bringing her some info and idea? she pays you to have the poor heap removed and put out of it's misory. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Rick, the problem with that is that she already let that one sit outside for 10 Years, how good would she take care of another one?
