Ashes to ashes, rust to dust.

What was the seller's mindset like?

"They don't make these anymore, I know what its worth"?
"It would be worth $60k restored"?

or more like:

"If you can get it on a trailer without it breaking up and spreading itself over the paddock, you are welcome to it"?

Cheers,

He is asking $500 ONO , he told me yesterday when he FINALLY returned my call that 2 other people had looked at it and walked so I knew it was going to be bad, but getting this thing onto a trailer without it ending up in 3 or 4 pieces without the aid of a backhoe or crane is going to be quite the mission. I offered $100 and am waiting to hear back.

I guess there are a heap of salvageable parts, but wow, that body is pretty sad. It will be quite a challenge to get that home Blacky. Looks like the bonnet has been left up for a year or two. $100 seems pretty fair given the mess. Good luck.
