Subject: Re: Who's brave enough to buy this one?

Body:
I too had thought about it. San Diego is just 10 hours away (not too
far once you drive the 23 hrs to Atlanta!). Here is the reply I
got...

"Original color is what is in pics Keweenau white with a Claret Wine
Cambria Cloth Roof and Scarlet Leather Interior. The VIN is 222530.I
have the hood but it had a rip in the sheet metal,tonneau cover as
well, the top is in bad condition as the interior needs new cloth,
the lights and the motor and tranny that was in it when I bought it
last year. The guy I bought it from was hit in the driver front
fender but not too bad I have pic will send.
Thanks for the inquiry."

It's gotten too pricey for my tastes... $1,925?!??! This thing
requires too much work to justify $1,000...New engine, new tranny,
new interior, new tonneau panel, new windshield molding, new lights,
new fender, new taillights, new paint, new top, time on a frame
machine (if needed), plus all of the oddds and ends. Someone would
be wise to have a complete donor car before taking this one on.
