Way cool, congrats!!! If you carry the same philosophy for sports cars,
could you find me a non-running Porsche 911 for $200? $3000 will get me a
used engine and I'm off! :)

Ah, there is a heaven! For the past year I have been stalking a
pre-1970 Fastback sitting in non-running condition here in Cedar City, Utah.
The owner didnt want to sell.... it was granddad's, you know, and there
is this sentimental attachment...besides, the owner was gonna fix it up
someday...and besides.... so it went, on and on.
Well, yesterday the owner agreed to sell it to me for $200 (the top money
I will pay for a non-running vehicle).
The body is fine (no rust, needs paint) and the interior is in very
good shape...
not even any rips in the headliner!. The car has an auto tranny (which
is great!
the car will be for my wife), FI, and....most important... is complete with all
the light lenses and other amenities in excellent shape.
The engine? Doesn't matter, for I have a good mothballed one sitting on the
floor of my garage just waiting. And two spare automatic transmissions also.
In short, it is an excellent restro project (groan...as tho I need one
more VW to work on....).
Anyway, my wife is thrilled to know she will have a Fastback with automatic
and I am thrilled, tightwad that I am, to have gotten the vehicle for
my usual miserly, cheapskate $200. Took a year, but....
Hope you will rejoice with my wife and me for the happiness that comes with
preserving and enjoying one of these neat cars.
