   I spoke to the owner. He states it hasn’t run since stored, 6 years ago. there is some rust and bond repairs on the drivers side fender step. the hat channels are rusted trough in a few small places. the windshield is cracked. He thinks it still retains the original 6V system, but the generator does not work.
   the big issue is that the registration states it’s a 1958 and he’s not sure if the serial numbers match between the reg and the vehicle and it’s still in his fathers name.
   Do you all think it’s worth looking at? I’m thinking this might be worth $2500 if the rust isn’t too bad, far less than he’s asking.

   If it isn’t running, then it is worth even less than that. The problem could be as simple as a loose wire or so complicated that the engine needs to be rebuilt. In my opinion, it is up to the seller to prove their is value in the engine/drive train. Otherwise, you have to assume there is a problem to protect yourself.

   It looks like the passenger side frame rail is bent, too. The seats aren’t original and the windshield appears cracked in the upper left picture.
