a friend of mine knows a guy who wants to get rid of his orange '75 1.8, which has been parked in his garage for 20 years. yes, two decades.
i haven't seen it yet (maybe tonight), but... what $$ sounds reasonable considering the following: - slight rf fender dent - cracked windshield, needs replacing - new engine? rebuild? - f bumper needs replacing - possibly little to no rust - riv wheels the reason i ask is that the guy may want payment on the spot if i want it, otherwise he'll have it hauled off or something. any and all opinions, help and/or derision welcomed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ~a |

QUOTE(anthony @ Dec 6 2004, 11:27 AM) QUOTE If you are looking for a restoration candidate then why a '75 that has been parking for a million years? It sounds like a lot of work and money for a '75 that nobody will be interested in if you ever try and sell it. If you are going to restore a 4 cylinder car at least start with a 73/74 2L car. hm... good points. but i was looking at it for its possible rust-free qualities. and if it needs a new engine anyway, might as well get a 2.0 in there. i've seen several 75s that looked very nice. i have a hunch i can get it for two, maybe three hundred. ~a |
