This summer, someone offered me a 67 Sprite with rusted-out front fenders
for $550. I drove it, liked it and was considering buying it, but then the
guy sold it to someone else for $750! I had been the first to express any
interest in it in 3 yrs...
I saw a 67 B in the paper for $600, discribed as a restorable parts car. I
went and looked at it, and it was ok, but the engine was in such a mess
that I knew it would probably take a few months and many dollars to get it
right, especially since squirrels had been nesting under the hood and had
made their presence known in the interior as well.
Now, I found a Midget but can't get in touch with the owner!
I felt the need to share all that, and I know I'm not the only one who has
had this stuff happen to them.
Thank you,
-Bill-
