Well, I am just amazed at the amount of support on the list for this
project! Kinda gives me a warm fuzzy feeling all over.... Having said
that, however, I note the questions about whether or not a "basket case"
should be purchased.
My $0.02:
If the car is truly a basket case and can be purchased for much less than
the $800.00, then I would say to go ahead and do it. A good supply of
parts is a blessing....
But, if it as a basket case and the price can not be negotiated downward,
then I would not purchase it. Even though individual exposure would be
little (approximately $10.00 in most cases), every purchase of an LBC at
beyond market value for condition will over inflate the good examples of
vehicles in the future. I would respectfully suggest that in these
cases one should not encourage the delusions of the DPO.
