Have you seen the 53 Caribbean for sale via Hemings in Florida -apparently a hurricane damaged car looks like the building collapsed on it plus some water damage

To Richelieu motors - can I arrange an inspection of his car? I can then determine purchase options thanks just to know where etc

Hmmm..a most interesting proposition...I think the car should be saved - not just for parts, but the costs to do so will be substantial as many of you have pointed out...but she is complete and original! If you look at the Tom Laferriere car at $49,500, aside the changed box & engine - this provides a difficult benchmark for the starting purchase price. So much will depend on the hidden stuff?? There is little doubt that the Buyers all up costs and time to restore will exceed the $49,500, but that's the normal outcome right! if I am correct in my assumption, the car is in Quebec, so I would be prepared to have a qualified party come and inspect the car? Would that work? Please advise. I agree forget the sand-blasting - will do way more damage

Many thanks gents .. I have made contact with Tom and will carefully look over the info and let you all know

Thanks for the reply auburnseeker - your points are very valid - Tom’s car looks to have a non-original engine & g/box though i would like to see the Richelieu motors car if it is still for sale

I have just joined this forum & website. i have some serious interest in your 1953 Caribbean - can you send me some photos - if it is still available for sale. I missed a poorer condition one about 2 months ago my better email is - andrew@theharrisgroup.com.au many thanks Andrew PS I am located in Australia - where is the car located?
