356 "Field" Find, Is it a good deal?? Options

[grasshopper]

Hey guys! My dad just went to pick up a 914 today, and when he was there he spotted a 356 out in the field. It was a 1958 cabriolet with a hardtop (I thought that was a really rare option). It was complete with the original engine (not in car, but complete). The car needs floor pans and rockers, but is otherwise solid. The guy only wanted $1800 for it...which I thought was cheap, but wanted to ask you guys first. Let me know. Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If the car doesn't have a title or it is somehow F'd.... Then you are talking about a whole new situation.

Not in Georgia..

The Nazis haven't screwed our system up like other states...

I go to the tag office, show them a bill of sale and insurance card and they'll register anything as long as it's 13 years or older with NO title needed!

I have registered cars that had been off the road for 30 years and not registered- no questions asked..

Note to self... Don't buy any possible Katrina flood cars with clean GA titles.

I'm not sure if thats a good or bad policy, but it sure is convenient.

I say buy the car an throw her up on ebay. I wouldn't be surprised if the hardtop was worth $1800. One of my best friends has a Pre-A, and I can't believe what he pays for some stuff.
