There are so many variables here...like, How badly do you want this car?, Do
you have plenty of money to restore it?, or Do you want to restore it (
almost anything can be repaired now days), Do you want this car because of
the make and model or just to have a car? see> all these are decisions that
you have to make, I know I'm not being much help but it needs thought when
buying something like this,,and another thing is...how far away from the
seller are you? is the car dependable to drive it home? Things to think
about [^__^], If you REALLY REALLY WANT IT !! then you will be sorry if you
don't go for it. Best of luck to you [^__^]
Cheers, Roger

If you can afford to have the rust repaired professionally, a
Jensen P1800 this nice is very rare - they were known to be rust
buckets with mediocre assembly quality. I guess after all these
years a few of them have survived because they were exceptional...

Cutting out the rusted spots in the floor and rebuilding the jack point
boxes is a pretty technical time consuming job. If you want to learn a
lot about metalworking go for it. Either replace or have the gas tank
lined. Replace the fuel and brake hard lines.

BTW I've met Irv Gordon and worked on his car. This car is nothing like
his. When I first saw Irv's car it was closing in on a million miles and
it looked as if it was only six months old.

my opinion is: buy it if you can get it for < $2k, and
have another $10k in the bank for repair and upgrades...
otherwise...keep l@@kin'.......

Nice car, now all you need is a woman named "Pussy Galore" to ride
beside you. LOL

I like the P1800s

The real trick is to keep "Pussy Galore" from going ballistic when she finds
out I'm looking at a 44 year old car.
