It's a nice car and the history is a definite plus. The fact that it hasn't run in 60 years actually can work in your favor. Especially if it really was only a carb problem. Honestly, you can't do much to this car. It's so original it's almost nuts. You don't find them that way any more. I think you'll be surprised at how it cleans up. That dirt is really your friend though you might not think so now. Bill is totally correct: Let the seller price it. Get someone that knows T's to assess it with you. You can use his expertise to chop the price a bit. DO NOT JUMP AT IT. Unless the price is really low. that is. Good Luck.
