You can pick that same car up in Vancouver in 8/10 condition for about $1500 easy.
I had one about nine years ago i bought for $500 and it was an eight out of ten for sure.
I should qualify that statement by saying,,no visible rust,,unrestored driveable clean condition.

i had a 1946 convertable. It was given to me for cleaning out the garage for the widow of one of my coworkers at China Lake. Even came with a spare
engine and only need a new top and upholstery. I sold it for $500 to a guy from Texas Instruments who jumped in it and drove to Texas just the way it
was. I think that today it would bring around $60k.
Bodystyles Average Sale
Convertible Coupe $65,525
Sedan $7,000
Mine was yellow with a green top

Ensenada Yonkes
Or is it Yonkies????
Hey, Rat............
From Ensenada, take Hwy 3 toward San Felipe...as you are leaving the main area of Ensenada and climbing the hill, there are 3 or 4 GIANT auto wrecking
yards (Yonkes or Scrappers) along the highway........they might have what you are looking for.........it seems they have everything else.
And I think you will have a bucket full of problems trying to get that beast imported into the US......YMMV

It's really easy in Ensenada most of the Yonke places are hooked up on a HOT LINE like in the U.S. it eliminates a lot of wasted time looking
around.
