Are these worth this little? or is something amiss? This blue is prettier, but twice the mileage.

My MIL sent me the repair paperwork that details the work done on the Jeepster. A partial listing of what was done: * Major tuneup - replaced plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor and distributor * Brake work - replaced all brake lines, relined shoes, replaced brake cylinders & master cylinder * Electric - replaced battery and cleaned cables * Other - "R & R fuel pump and filter". Replaced fuel lines and fuel tank There is a note on the invoice that states "Backing plate rusted up adjuster inop for ebrake cable. E-brake cable cannot be made" - what does this mean? MIL wants $5K for it, but notes that it needs a carburetor.

Replying to: texases (Nov 07, 2008 6:13 am) Nothing to write home about, but like you said, still should be a fun car. 2800 lbs and mid-engined. Seems like a heck of an idea for my "fun/track" car. Although I suppose I should be scared of maintenance. And there is something about a rash of bad engines?? |

Replying to: tjc78 (Nov 07, 2008 5:14 am) As for paying $11,000--one fool does not make a market. If anything, he re-defines what it REALLY is. For $5K, it had better check out as damn near perfect. EARLY BOXSTERS -- Yep, they are not worth very much. You have to remember that Porsche made a BOATLOAD of these cars---these are mass-produced vehicles, not 911 Turbos. JEEPSTER -- Why can't you make a cable? Or is it 'I don't want to be bothered trying to make a cable?" I used to make up cables for 50 year old boats and British motorcycles after all.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 07, 2008 9:01 am) I did happen to follow in an old 300D turbodiesel today (it was on the S chassis, I never have understood how they named these things) - nice looking car, and I envy the headroom.
