New harley carburetor? :lol:

Tough to tell form the pics if it's in good shape or not. That paint job could be hiding something nasty.

Why does it have that butt ugly paint job? :jester

Seriously, I would inquire about all the standard stuff. Frame rust and birdcage are big items. Interior ends up costing big $$ if it needs attention. Brakes always seem to need attention unless they have been properly redone. And the list goes on but these are a good place to start.

Remember, it always is easier to start with a better car for more $$$ than tackle a beater needing everything as it will cost ALOT more in the long run. Of course if you get your joy from working on the car vs. driving it, then so be it!

Good Luck!

Boy, you better really like that paint job. If it were painted just red, it might be worth $7-8,000!

The car is in Brooklyn. Notice the dried road salt underneath it. Not good.

I do not recommend buying a car unless someone knowledgable whom you trust has gone to look at it for you. We often do this on the forum.

Also remember the current price is not the final selling price. Personally, this car gives me hives... :leaving:

Salvage title and first sale on e-bay, I'd skip this one.
