I looked at one on C/L awhile back, couldnt get it to turn over with a breaker bar so I took a pass. I can relate to the OP. Bought a 59AB few years ago, wasnt painted or anything but was declared a "Solid runner from a stocker" Well it was a worn out engine, zero compression on 5 of the cylinders. I learned a few things that day.
