Worthless to restore?

Post by magnetodyne »

There were a couple of 600s on eBay a few days ago that nobody bought.
I contacted the seller to get more info on the cars, I was primarily
interested in the Sedan.
He clearly stated that the car was in need of restoration, but I was
hopeful until he sent me more pics.
The roof is rusted through, and apparently it is the car's second roof.
It hasn't run since 1988 and there are several rust bubble spots on
the doors and the window pillars.
Is it possible to find replacement body panels such as the roof and the
doors? I'm starting to think that this restoration is way beyond my
capabilities.
Thanks,
Matt

Matthew,
I have a 72 sedan for sale. I am the original owner. I am asking
$3500.00 for it and all the spare parts I have. There is no rust, as it has
been garaged up intil a couple of months ago. I have rebuilt the power unit
and was in the process of restoring it when muscular dystrophy made it too
difficult to complete on my own. I will never be able to get our of it
without a lot of help I have to sell it. I am in Norther California In the
East Bay area. If you are interested please feel free to contact me.
Don V.
