Don't forget that in a car that has been sitting for a while, you will be
replacing all the seals and rubber parts. This can get into a few bucks and
more than a few hours. Expect to completely rebuild or replace the braking
system and clutch hydraulics. Look at the brake pipes and if they show
surface rust, replace them to be safe. Add in the cost of flex brake hoses
and all the pads, shoes, rotors, etc. Check suspension bushings, too.
I don't have a B, but if I remember correctly the '64 would have the 3 main
bearing engine. This could be a bargaining point, as it isn't as durable as
the newer 5 main. Use your Moss or Vic. Brit. catalog to get a list of parts
that will definitely need to be replaced and add up the cost.
Good luck. Keep 'em running!
