Should I? [1969 Sunbeam Arrow, aka Hillman Hunter]

Share this page

Seems it might be worthwhile for the forum to flash a "This is a very old thread!" automatic alert when someone starts a new post, if the most recent post on the thread is over a year old.

Just sayin' ...
 
The only hunter i thought that was ever worth buying was one i service in my early years was one with a Holbay engine in it, had twin 40's side draft, went like chit off a stick,
But as the rev counter went up the fuel gauge went in the opposite direction
 
Take the plunge. I rebuilt a Jag engine for $735 in parts and that is only two cylinders more. 300K miles in a one owner cared for car is a no brainer.

Looks like this thread could vote soon. !!
I would like to make the point that there are a lot of "orphans" out there .
Over the years, many customers came to me with a sob story involving such a car.
Bottom line is avoid money pits like the plague they are. If you love a car, go out
and find the best example you can possibly afford. NEVER get the cheaper basket case to save
money !! It will always cost much more in the long run and lead to spousal burn-out. You can
also save a marriage by not falling into this trap. I have seen time and again.....
