Ok - we looked at the towing cost. Nobody wants to spend that just to decide the project is to big once it gets here.
He only wants to bring it here because he wants that car - he's not out looking for a 64 Lemans convertible. He won't restore it himself - he wouldn't redo the brakes himself. Brake pads, spark plugs and fluids are about as far as he goes and his son is less handy.
My thought - if it can be made safe to drive for $5000 and he can then drive it home, he's about 1/3 of the way into it. I don't think he would ever give the car a full-on restoration. He's thinking a weekend cruiser, not a showpiece.
If it has issues that kill the deal - like serious rot, He should know that now and walk away.
We have been kicking this around all week. The more expensive it sounds the less he likes the idea.
