Hello, I've been reading your posts lately, and thought to chime in with a question about a 69 912 I see for sale in a local Newspaper for 4850.00 It states that it's a running, antique tagged 5spd w/fuchs, as well as great looking. I have about a 2 hour drive to get to there, but I wanted to ask here before bolting out the door, and loosing my shirt. I guess to look for rust around the ol'obvious areas, but other than rust, what could seriously depreciate the value of this car? He says there's about 100k on the engine. How many miles can these 4cyls crank out?
He said has a 67 in even better shape that he would sell for the same....They are in storage. I guess I'd like to know your opinions on a purchase, and what to really look out for. I'd like to put around the county --not a daily driver-- after work to get mail, go to movies, and such.....not to travel far, not to race hondas. With that said, all your help is very much appreciated.
