my name is loren i am obviously new to the forum (but not realy a novice to classic cars) and i have the opportunity to acquire a 3000 ... not sure what year ... all i know at this point is that it was originally the guy's grandfather's, when he died it was passed to his father who also died and as such was passed to him he is due to have triplets any day now and needs the cash
the car has been in storage and on blocks for the last 15 years, the steering rod was removed and there is a replacement rod ready to be put in ... it needs paint and a new rag top ... it may have the hard top as well
besides the obvious tires, flush the fuel lines and tank replace the battery and make sure that the crank turns smoothly ... are there any other things i should know or look out for?
i am also noticing that people are still discussing lucas ... my past experience has been that lucas has issues and converting to bosch is a good thing ... has this changed in recent years??
