Speaks of a friends car in storage.......

The car has probably been in her garage for 20+ years, and no one spoke of it until the neighbor saw my dad's car and said:

"you know, i think i know someone who might have one of those"

Turns out, it belonged to her ex, and all she wants to do is get rid of it. I am sure for a price, but can't be much. And it may not be much either. But we'll find out
maybe it's a six
I know it's yellow, so already it's faster

I seen that one before. It was a Triumph spitfire and they wanted big money for it 914 my ars!

this one will be close to free. i've known the owner since i was a kid.

California cars don't rust, right

Cool! I thought maybe it was one of those a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend who was 3rd cousins with Kevin Bacon. I hope it works out

Yeah right.....just like Mueller's...gotta clean the gargae before you can see it story.....

I won't hold my breath or let the get cold.....

your garage is full though greg....

I got some more details.......

It's a 1974
Dad could not get behind the boxes to check displacement
It was too fast as a yellow car, so they painted it black
It has fuchs
no center console
67,000 original miles, never flipped
Mint interior
Has not started in probably 20 years
rust=unknown
it was running when parked

what would you offer?

I would say I would tow it off for free and not charge them anything...lol

I'd offer to take them to the West Coast Classic once they sign over the pink slip and you get the motor oiled up.

Offer 2000.00, you can always go up if turned down. Hell, it's just a parts car, right?

That's a rhetorical question right? Ask her what she wants for it and work from there.

word. i may be in the area and can take a closer look if need be....

Last one I bought, running and drove home....$1K

Got a trailer Greg....I'll tow it to Slits's Parts Yard where it will undergo the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Sawzall test. "O bla dee, O bla da.............etc".

i told my dad to offer her $500

"and as he gives it to her she begins to sing........(see above)"

apparently she's not even ready to start moving the boxes around it, so no hurry.

5 dalla

Since im sure they did not drain the gas out of it.

Always ask FIRST what they want....and then think about it and offer 75% less.....unless it's a steal at the asking....NEVER make the first offer....

I'd call this a Mueller, but atleast you've seen the car....

You didnt miss a thing.

Words of wisdom from a car dealer from the 60's......

"If you're not embarassed by your first offer, you offered too much."
