Re: IML: 1960 2 door for sale cheap!

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

The GREAT car that I bought from Iowa was so rotted
out that it made me cry.  Seller meant well and sold
against his wishes due to wife pressure, but the thing
was rotten 6 different ways.  Guy said it was GREAT
and that he was certain that it was a resto candidate
for certain.

I feel otherwise.

You can't fix what isn't there.  Stuff that's rotted
is effectively not there.  Caveat Emptor.  My 1960
Iowa car is now my parts car, with the swivel seat
frames and complete engine core being the highlights. 
I had to buy a shell locally (thanks Henry!) to get
away from the rot.
