Kevin - $500 is not unusual for a parts car and with a load of other
spares like you mention i have no doubt youd get your money back after
one swap meet - and then some! Dont forget, early rear axles and other
parts particular to early Bs are hard to come by, Hard tops are in great
demand - and if the thing has a title as well!!.....If youve got the
space for it id say go for it!! - plus - you learn an awful lot from
taking one apart which will hepl you with your "real" car!! -
