Hey guys,
In addition to my splitty singlecab that I'm picking up in the next few days, I'm also considering buying a 1960 microbus that I've been told about.
I haven't seen it as yet but the verbal description is as follows:
- 1960 Microbus (semaphore model with round tail lights)
- original paint, any rust has been replaced with metal patches welded in and primer over (so can see extent of repairs))
- registered until 18 months ago (approx)
- has non-original 1500 engine
- running, originally fixed up for roadworthy about 3 years ago so probably not too far from r/w
- price $5,500 firm
- missing rear seats but can obtain some apparently
So what do you guys think? If the rust repair thing checks out, is $5,500 a fair price for a solid 1960 microbus needing some minor work for roadworthy. I know it's hard to judge without photos etc, however I tend to make emoitional decisions about cars the moment I see them so I want to make a decision on the spot (based on my assessment of the rust situation and basic condition and knowing the car is reasonable value at $5,500)
All opinions will be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve
