Like I said, spend the money on a good runner because a basket case will cost far more money to restore then you would ever get out of it (ask me how I know). |
Yep, but depends on where you are. There is quite a scene out in the “Valley” in LA for British cars, but what’s in St. Louis? They’re great fun at 60mph and are much more reliable than their reputation if you tinker. I’d hold out for a 67’ and try to get one with overdrive if you can. You can actually build a new one with parts from Moss Motors. You’ll need a warehouse, because you’ll be bringing rollers home for just a few parts if you’re restoring. Go to the major car auctions – there are deals there, often out in the parking lots. They are very roomy – I’m 6’2” and 210
Bottom line – pay up for one somebody else’s project and you’ll save a bunch. I built up a good roller for my daughters HS graduation present. She now knows cars and loved it, but I had 20,000 in a 4,500 dollar car when I was done.
