Hi all,
I've decided to sell my Cadillac and Lincolns and concentrate on my '73 LeBaron sedan.
I recently asked my buddy in Wisconsin who looks after it - what it requires, and this is the list:
Radio doesn't work and has the 8-track cartridge stuck in it.
Some issues with control of front A/C vents.
One slow "big" window and both vent windows are inoperable
The paint is ok but a few large dings/creases in the lower body.
Will eventually need an engine rebuild as it burns oil.
Cost me around $5000 and I've spent maybe another $3000 with Murray B Park and getting her serviced and safe.
Whilst I'm happy to spend the funds to tidy up, I wondered whether it would be better to get one already done else do the one we already know as Perry says these cars are rare.
I'd like to get it as nice as that Idaho restorer does but suppose that's a $50,000 - $100,000 cost???
Opinions anyone???
John
