[Gus Berges]

It's beyond clear what a monumental effort restoring this car will be for whomever gets it, it's just not going to be me. Down here (Panama, Republic of Panama) parts are not as readily available as in the States and though shipping things down here has become a lot easier to do over the years, it still presents its own challenges.

Also, I have yet to find a body shop whose work is beyond reproach and if I would actually spend $100K+ on a vehicle, I can guarantee you it would look like new, not something like a high school student did at the auto shop class.

This car offers no sentimental value to me, so it's not like I would spend the money regardless of the fact that it would make no financial sense. Right now making "foolish" financial decisions is completely the opposite of what I need to be doing. I just wasn't sure if this is a $30K (or whatever price he asks) car that needs $30K in repairs (I think we can all agree it will be a lot more than that) and I would have ended up with a $90K car.
