Hello folks! New user here but long time lurker.
I am ready to purchase my first 510 and start a rebuild project so I have been doing a lot of research and collecting information. I love all the stuff you can find on the net and forums like this are a great tool.
Now the biggest hurdle we all have is finding a good car to start the project with. I am up in Canada so my options are even more limited.
I do have 1 car locally available to me (more on this in a bit) but my question is: Where is a good place to search for cars...I am having trouble finding much for sale right now.
Even looking on ebay isn't turning up much for sale!
The car I have locally is a 72 2 door. Complete car and he says it runs. Don't really care as I will be doing a swap and rebuild anyway. He has a good selection of additional parts like brand new front fenders, a few extra body panels, a bunch of new rubber items, front end components etc. The ad does say there is some rust in the unibody but I do not know how bad it is as I have not seen the car in person yet. The pictures he has sent do not show the full extent of the rust I am sure.
Asking price is $4900 CAD recently reduced from $6500. No idea if that is good or not as I have found nothing to compare it to.
So, I am not asking for any detailed analysis of this car as you all have no info to go on but what might be your simple opinion on this? Or, where can I find a decent donor car to start with? Buying from the US is no problem if I find a good one.
All I really care about is the body/unibody as I can buy most everything else easily. My plan is to build a "streetable" track car that I can take out and do some fun races with but can drive to shows and events locally. It will not be a long haul or daily driver.
Love the forum and I look forward to reading more!
