Hello Jim,

I have seen this car. It's in Gladstone/Milwaukie. It has been for sale off & on for about 2 years now. They haven't budged on their $3000 price yet either. The car body/dash is decent. The seat upholstery is trashed/tattered. However the car being stuck for 30 years means you will probably have to invest 2-3 thousand more into getting the engine rebuilt. Than you've got to invest another thousand in brakes (if you have someone else do them, less if you do all the labor yourself). The Patrician Uphostery is quite expensive to get done correctly, but if you want to do a close "custom" interior, that would work.

To me, it is a $1500 dollar car.

Good luck.
