Hey,
I'd be very appreciative of anyone who could go take a look at a '74 track car for me. Here: http://www.camp914.com/projectcars.html (the white one with the rollcage). I know there's rust, but I just want to know how it rides and if the rust is repairable, or something is wrong with it, etc. because I most likely will not be flying to Oregon to look at a car - just not in the budget at this juncture. If anyone could do this for me it'd be great. Even if you can't do a PPi, your opinion on it would be great too. Thanks a lot, Corey |

calm down - it was just general advice. you'd be surprisd how many people don't take that advice. you have - cool. okay - my take on THE CAR... add up what's included and it sounds like a killer deal to me. front cooler - installed, along with the GT bumper and valance (no hack job or halfway measures). it doesn't have, and isn't represented as having, a cage; it has an Autopower (a good, reliable, sanctioning-body recognised, knowledgeable maker) roll bar with a Petty bar (that diagonal that extends from the crossbeam into the passengre footwell. most of those are removable, which is a nice feature (IMO) for a street car. i'd ask Craig about that, just so you know. i'd probably spring for the RH seat - it's already installed and worth the $300. i think it speaks volumes that Craig is willing to show the trunk and battery tray. looks like surface rust ("they all do that" ...) that can be addressed with time, a wire brush, and some POR-15. as stated in the description, it is a project car that will require some finishing, and there is no question that it looks a bit ratty on the outside. if you are the kind of person that can't live with that, this may not be the car for you. (some people can deal with a sound but ratty car, and some can't, and that's not a value judgement, but it's important to know which group you're in.) the work remaining seems to me to be in the "low payoff" category - a bit labor intensive, necessary, doesn't bump the value much, which is why Craig is willing to offer it as a project car and not a $7500 "done" car. -i- would drive cross-country for a car that Craig represents. i understand your generalised reluctance to accept the word of a seller, but Craig would rather have a happy customer in the community than make a quick buck. he gets a LOT of repeat business. |
