[T3] Hey y'all


I've been on this list from time to time and have been toying with the idea
of buying another fastback. (I'm up in Bellingham, WA, in case anyone has a
cherry fasty for cheap).

The one I'm looking at is a '69. The guy is asking $500. It needs an engine
and some interior work (mostly a dash pad and a weekend working on the front
seats), as well as seals, and some attention to the light rust on the floor.

It started out a deep blue color, and was amateurishly painted off-white,
and the rear license bracket was moved down for whatever reason. The
interior is white, but I'm not sure if it's original. It has pop-out rear
windows. The front end is crunch-free, save for a little dent down below
where noone can see it. The engine supposedly just needs a new block.

The pan looks completely pristine from below, though I'm probably just
looking at the sound deadening material. From inside, there is definitely
some surface rust; it seems as though water leaked in and sat there for a
while. I'm thinking of stripping it out and having it blasted and repainted
(it doesn't have to look nice, fortunately).

Down the road a bit I'd like to have it repainted a color that doesn't clash
with the original blue. Something like the late-model Civic Si blue.
