Disagree... I wish it was mine. IDK, does it have an engine? That might not reduce overall expense, but that car is savable and a well done 6 brings $30K, as hard as it is to believe.

Jake, that's gotta be one of the best Roosevelt quotes if not one of THE best quotes ever. Inspires me every time I read it.

On the car, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) what a blind ass bastard! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I thought it was a lot when it was at 10k and that was before the seller mentioned that it was missing the brake calipers. Glad at least two people wanted it that bad but I haven't gotten mine yet... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

my thinking was...
18k for car
5k for rust repair
3k for brakes
8k for drive train rebuild
8k for repaint
2k for misc interior
1k for electrical
1k for correct front bumper
2k for misc exterior trim

Thats 48k and I think your under water at that point (my numbers could be way off). But never the less I hope the guy that bought it has lots of money and enjoys saving a pretty rare car. I don't think this one can sit for another 8 years.

The front of that car is falling off due to rust. To properly restore the car will cost more than $30k.

Not a good value. just a money pit...

But it would cost another 20-30+++K to restore it!
