I stopped and looked at it last night. Most everything under the hood is burned up including all the parts I would need that I sold last winter on ebay.

He told me he owned it for 19 years and drove it as a spare car. The gas lines are all old or the SU carb hoses went bad. The hoses by the gas tank are all wet and old and smell. The entire car is stock except for the wheels and steering wheel.

Minimum rust as in no floors or rails or quarter panels need to be replaced. Great start for a race car or to drop a V8 into. $2,000 is not in my budget at this time. I threw a low ball offer back to him.

I told him I could only afford 1/2 or less of what he was asking. I asked him if the insurance company paid him out and the title was now a salvage........no, he only had liability. It was probably a $4-$5,000 car when he bought it 19 years ago and he is looking to get as much as he can but he took a gamble by not carrying proper insurance or having a good mechanic check stuff on the car.

Another reason to carry classic car insurance.
