I'm not a 356 guy -- I favor the 911 SC -- but an opportunity may be coming up that I maybe shouldn't pass on. Briefly, the car you see sitting in the snow has been outside for at least the last 2 years. My understanding is that the owner may soon decide to sell and will want to sell quickly, at a price to match. Trouble is, I am shortly leaving town for a four month period and don't even have time right now to check out the car in any detail. This much I know. It has been serviced regularly and runs well. And, it's a one-owner car. And the paint looks pretty solid, if oxidized.
I don't even know what year it is or what variant. Someone told me they thought it was a 63 or 64. I was hoping somebody here might notice some details in the pix -- maybe something about the instrument cluster or whatever -- that might be a tip off.
It's got some rust. See the photos. I don't know how extensive it is.
And, well, I hate to say it, but that's about as much as I know. Basically, it's next to nothing. And the only time I could take photos of it, before leaving on my trip, it was in the snow.
Okay, given all that, and I know this is a ridiculous question, but, from the little I've said and the little you can see, can you suggest a price, which if somebody paid it, it would be a no brainer, no matter what else might be right or wrong with the car itself.
In other words, if the owner calls me, it's going to be a buy it now situation or don't buy it at all. And I have no idea of the price he might ask; only, that he'd be looking for a quick sale.
Like I said, I'm pretty sure it runs great -- I got that from someone who has driven it -- but other than that, it'd kind of be a great pig in the poke.
What do you think? At what price would you take a chance on something like this?
