This almost looks like it could be a decent candidate, tho I have no way to see for sure.

Good sheet metal, looks like. Decent parts car. No title means no restoration, in many cases.

Well, due to multiple vehicle breaks downs and appliance failures, i guess i get to start the saving process all over again. oh well, maybe the market will bring me something reasonable in the future.

I probably should stop looking at for sale ads for s30s. I found a 1970 where the current owner says that the tub and quarters are solid. doesn't run as it needs radiator, distributer and exhaust. has 2" cowl hood and corvette rear light panel. front fenders need to be replaced. is asking $1500 currently. I have seen singer pictures and it doesn't look too bad, but looks like there is more missing like headlights and such.

And I should stop looking for parts and such, but I never listen to my own advice.

The biggest issue is the body rot. Headlights and what not can be replaced. If its solid as a body shell, it's worth looking at if you're OK with buying a project car. If you want a turn-key driver, you're going to spend plenty more than that.

Radiator isn't a hard job. Dizzy is easy, exhaust isn't expensive depending on what's missing. If you like it, look at it. Get under it and check the floors and such.
