buy it
if you dont get this one, where's the next one or the other one?. I mean these dont roll by every day close to home with obviously reasonable owners. I would take it if the frame is good or good enough and the "birdcage" whatever that is. you see I have a C1.
Is the birdcage the frame element around the differential center section or around the cockpit?
offer 22 then be prepared to go to 25 and this time next year you will be very happy you did.

Joe,
I thought I saw that car at our show on Sunday too? I was working it and had a table in the vendor area so I didn't get to look over the cars too good or for long. If it's gone too bad but maybe it was meant to be? They are still around and if you get one that needs to be rebuild I can tell you how or do the custom rebuilding for you.Take the body off and they are pretty much the same as what you have. Good luck.

Out here in California... we don't have rust.... we don't see rust... we don't deal with rust. Everything is solid... even in 40 year old cars!
I've bought a lot of em.... and I won't buy anything that's not from California, Nevada, or Arizona.
Too much rust out there on the East coast..... WATCH OUT!
