See, it's pretty much impossible for me to wrap my head around that, because it's the exact opposite situation here. I'll bet I could find a free slant six here a month, whereas cars like that you don't see real often, which is why it would be a horrible shame to part it. But I sure do...
Ugh, I would love to have that car! Beautiful! Not for quite $1800, but still. Have patience, I'm sure you can find a running /6 at a decent price soon enough.
How are the interior door panels (and rear panels), and what color? With that windshield out, sitting in the rain, I fear they're damaged anyway, but worth asking.
If not damaged, please PM me pics and price. Thanks.
