Was hoping to trade good karma, or failing that then beer and a hearty thank you, to eyeball a car for me.

Purchased 2 years ago, this was to be a father - son project. Only 2 years ago, his son would have been 2-3? It sat. Probably started regularly but not driven.
So, condition. It had rust colored stains in all the usual places but nothing serious. It is abundantly original with the only modification I could find the aftermarket exhaust you see. The interior is in need of a total redo, but 914rubber has made that pretty easy. There are slight dents and one spot where the paint and primer is totally gone, but I couldn’t find bondo with a magnet. The rear bumper is in need of some chrome polish and a new bumper top. The front needs a trip to Ogden Chrome for a spa day. Oh, and a new top. In short, this is a pretty incredible find. I’d say the guy could have asked 2-3 times more and gotten it. I was all set to call Whitesell if Tom passed but, he took my advise and made a pretty decent deal on it. Congratulations Tom! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) |
