When reading about these essentially 'new' notches, it was exciting to think of getting a brand new notchback. The reality of not having an income at the moment quickly dashed any hopes. Further reflection revealed that these are not new cars, but cars trhat have been sitting for over 30 years. The tires are hard as rocks, probably crack easily and should be replaced as tires need to be flexed to remain supple. The oil the crankcase has gotten acidic and may be quite close to eating through the case. The brake shoes have been in contact with the drums probably rusty in there. The brake fluid has absorbed moisture and become worthless. The fuel and brake lines hard and brittle. Brake master and slave cylinders probably pitted from contaminated brake fluid. No matter what, a bunch of things need to be taken apart and inspected as a minimum before I would trust a car such as these with my life on the road. i need to do this inspection to mine, & it's only bee 8 years of non-use. Still, it would be very cool to own one, and if I had an extra huge chunk of change, I would be very tempted.
