OTOH, if it's wine country, it may have cost 5x that much. 

I wonder how many of those engine blocks have infestations.

infestations? generally, the engines are the most salvageable part of any car. what ever infestations you are talking about wont really eefect its viability. totally rusted out bodies will though...

ChadTower:

Ever seen an engine with 10 years of insect infestation?  Every seal in it is gone, every rubber part long trashed, and unless it's a really high end engine it's not worth the hours and hours to pull, disassemble the block, clear out every opening and channel, and then reassemble with all new seals.

Hey, if Hurley can pop start a VW party wagon that has been in a humid jungle for who knows how long, then these cars are golden! :laugh2:

Havok:
Man, I'd love to restore and drive one of the formula 1 type cars. Awesome find...

ChadTower:

Hell, even if you stuck a lawnmower engine in those F1 cars they'd be fun to drive around.
