Another unbelievable "barn Find". I really think the ad should read "super Rare in this Condition" Anyone want some expensive rust?

Better pictures now, OMG did you see pictures 5 and 6.... I suppose there are maybe degrees of OK, in which case I can see why the engine might be OK, not crumbling to dust basically.
Wheels are OK, need tyres. Dash is OK, chrome is OK, really? Seats are OK (for what?), Steering wheel is OK (for what, again?) Can'r believe he admitted to listng it whilst drunk, being sober didn't improve his spelling any! Sorry sounding like a pedantic sod now, time to stop Rolling Eyes

Deffinitely differnet standards to most of us I would guess Laughing

Plenty of useable and salvageable parts there, including the steering wheel! As for spelling, I tend to use the preview button before I post... Wink

Just to be completely pedantic, spelling is not actually my issue, trouble is I type like I drive, fast and with lost of mistakes, "transposition" is my speciality Very Happy

Granted, perhaps I shouldn't criticise others Shocked

Dyslexic fingers are my problem....plus the fact, my left hand types faster than my right?

I have also long since given up trying to text & drive at the same time....I found I would be sending total gobbledygook to entirely the wrong number.

[My mobile telephone does accompany me when out driving...but purely for breakdown purposes.....should I be unable to fix the motor myself.....which is indeed, rare. Also, I don't particularly like talking to people at the best of times, let alone when I'm driving]
