Hi there.
I'm trying to buy my first classic car and I'm looking for a B. I
really like the chrome bumpered ones and I especially like the better
horsepower in the pre-emmission years. I've read a few sources on
looking the car over and I went and looked at my first one on the
weekend. I wanted to buy it right there for the following reasons.
72B
Body and sills seemed solid (fresh paint though, I gave it a yellow
flag)
Oil pressure was 65 at 3000.
No blue smoke.
No clunking from the suspension.
Top, tonneu, hardtop all in great shape.
2 owners, repair records kept from day 1. An appraisal was made by an
"expert" that details the car. Original engine. 103 000 original
miles.
$3000 US.
I'm looking at another this week but I'm really tempted to go for this
one. Is it too early? Should I look at a dozen? Is it too good to be
true?
Thanks,
Matt
