Well, it photographs nicely. Unfortunately the pictures and descriptions
don't really address the important points. It is obvious that the exterior
paint is newer than the engine compartment paint -- is it a quickie respray
hiding all sorts of ills? Can't say. Why is one air cleaner missing? Does
that indicate it hasn't been in regular service? If it hasn't, why not? The
car is offered by a broker, so you aren't likely to get any real info about
the car's history. It could be an OK deal, potentially, but there are an
awful lot of questions. I wouldn't give him his asking price without a
personal look, or at least having a local agent check it out.
