Lets say the C85 was good. With the cost of a tear down and check. How much do you think it would be worth? Plus if a person was close enough to go pick it up to avoid shipping cost. Plus figure making a "couple bucks" on the sale of a few low value parts. I'm just curious.

I will keep an eye on what it sell sells for. Right now it is up to $2750.

It is always the shipping that seems to be "the deal breaker"! Thank you for your input!

The person that bought it most likely lives real close.

Yes, without this group I would of NEVER of purchased a project and try to restore it. This is like going to "Taylorcraft College" and this is my freshman year! So far I have not endured any hazing! : )
