He wants 4k firm I think i've seen him driving it around it's in average condition but no major rust from the outside anyway.

I would love to buy an early one like this

No, I havent seen the car in person. When it was first listed on the internet for sale (on ozdat from memory) a few months back I contacted the seller and made some inquiries.

I was informed that one of the chassis rails was "kinked", cant remember which one.

[drunkenmaster]

I think most cars have a "kink" or two in the rails.

My car for instance has a few spots where it looks like it has hit something from beneath and the bottom of the rail is caved upwards but the side of the rails are still perfectly straight.

[240 in OZ]

Agreed, but it all depends on the sellers definition of the word "kink"; it could mean a lot of things.

[drunkenmaster]

Agreed, just hope it doesnt mean this:

Guess the only way to find out is to look at the car. What worries me is that it's such an early car yet he has had so much trouble selling it.

Early cars shouldn't have much trouble being sold if they are pretty solid state wise.
