Hi Annette,
You're sure to have fun with that roadster, looks like it won't take much
work to clean it up. I'm one of those advocates for getting as much car as
you can before putting your time in one it. But for $1300 it looks like a
great deal. As long as the mechanical stuff pans out in your planned
inspection. You may have a gem in the rough. Looks aren't everything.
My '70 1600 Blondie looked worse than that car when I got it. But the
drivetrain, suspension, and brakes were sound. That's what counts.
