bought the e-type I was looking at and posted about on here a while back, 63 roadster, rolls, appears complete, but partially disassembled, major mechanicals intact, but a lot of parts removed, trim, carbs, interior, etc. It is a total basket case, but I have seen worse, but he got a deal, if you can call buying a car you will have to put years of work and tens of thousands of dollars in to get back on the road a deal.
He is a few years closer to retirement than me and figures start slow now and finish it up then, I am not upset, I passed on the car, would have loved to have bought it, but when I thought about the time it would take me to get it done (money too, but more so the time, of course if I had more money I could trade It for my time!), was actually pretty cool just doing an initial assessment of the car with him out in the garage the other day. Can't come up with anything major missing, but I am sure during the restoration there will be one or two parts won't show up at the needed time...
