Lots of folks here who are younger than us oldtimers. I never saw a used car on a lot or used engine in a junkyard that haden't been just rebuilt. Always look at a purchase as if you plan to sell it and plan on spending to make it saleable. I have bought off ebay and classified ads on forums and not been disappointed. Once bought a 47 conv. sight unseen that turned out to be rust free and great looking. Drove it from Chicago to TN, lost the rod bearings around Indy and filled the crankcase with STP and limped on home. We found that the wrong size bearings had been installed. It hurt to build the engine then but today the car is eaisly worth twice what I have in it and then aome. Know your values and figure worst case and you will fair well.
