Agree about the first one...a lot of rust under there.
The second one is a better prospect.....pity about the awful smooth black seat covers.

One of the invoices photographed in the advert states " Very bad rust damage to frame" so body off restoration might be required.

For the money (today's money, anyway) that's almost worth buying and binning the chassis for a new one. Apart from the dents, the rest of the car looks solid.

The chassis could be repairable..difficult to say with the info available..

Another at $49,500 not personally sure it's worth that as the chassis does not look great. A lot of it superficial but looks to be a hole in the FFE plus it's been altered to run a carb.

I think I'll pass on this one....sunbaked interior, cheap new seat covers, missing all its propper fuel systems , the exhaust looks strange, as if its falling off, plus all the rust and rot? .....

The Chassis looks in very poor shape. I wouldn't touch it personally.

with the £ currently tanking against the US$, I wouldn't advise anyone to import a car from the USA at the moment.
Apparently only Madagascar's currency is doing worse then ours at the moment!
