Title: Tired Special Red Deer Alberta
Post by: jbcollier on Friday,July 10, 2020, 07:22:53 AM
Looks very tired to me.  Too much money and parking in grass probably means the chassis is now toast as well:

IMHO $10,000 would be too much.

$8,000 would be a fair price.

Still way over priced but it is priced in $CDN.  That makes it $14,770US.  It supposedly has a 365 transaxle, and you would want to know why it was parked -- vented block? -- but $10KCDN or $7.4KUS could be reasonable.  Of course you would be well underwater by the time it was restored.

AND, cars stored in a grassy fields are not barn-finds!

I don't see a numbered JPS badge, or telltale blemish where it was glued to the dash.

Sitting in a field in Alberta. Salt on the roads all winter. My guess is that much of this car that isn't fiberglass will be ugly.

I hate seeing cool cars looking like this. My neighbor has a few American classics that need to be restored but he will never get around to it. By the time he sells them they will be history.
