Joe Cocuzza Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Went to W. Virginia to pick this T & C up (my 2nd one)18 hours of driving without one pitstop. I'm glad to have the car BUT I will NEVER drive that far and long again.Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Cocuzza Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Very nice. Hope she is in as good a shape as the pictures show.You lucky dog.Bill HThe metal parts on the car are rust/rot free except one area of the trunk floor.The wood is okay except the trunk lid where water leaked onto it for years and has rotted some pieces.My plans, as of now, are to clean it up as best as it can be and try to get it running/driving.I already have a "refreshed" one of these in my garage and I swore that if I ever was lucky enough to get another one, which I was, that I wouldn't start taking it apart, like my other one, which has snowballed into 15+ years of "refreshing" it.So I am sticking to that promise. Besides, I don't have the time or money to do another one. Heck, I am even contemplating not even refinishig the wood. I am, however, wetsanding the paint (it is original and will not be shiny and bright). But it will be "cleaner". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
