This is why they aren't worth much. Not because they need new fuel tanks and lines, but because two of them were put away in the same town. Classic case of a "Collector Edition" being way over...

Not true. Every piece of metal under the car has surface rust. 25:14-25:57 is the underside of the car. If you think that's "completely rotted out," well, its not.

So you think oil was sprayed all over there? And oil removes paint? Then the oil evaporated?

I pulled the engine out of my '46 CJ2A just to reseal it and paint it. When I pulled the timing cover off, I found the timing chain so loose it had jumped a tooth. After putting it back in time...

This discussion reminded me that I did have to put valve cover gaskets on the Falcon. And the RMS does leak some. And I did replace all the door seals, widow sweeps, and trunk seal. I find work...

Dude really picked the wrong car. There were lots of used cars the guy could have spent the same money on in 1978 and done fine. Disco C3s might have been among the worst possible cars to do this...
