[1969] Low Mileage 69 on E-bay

[Bill H.]

I believe the cannister off the air cleaner, is the
optional Oil Bath air cleaner.

Although the car certainly isn't perfect, on the other
hand, it IS almost 40 years old.  The bad rubber could
be age, dried and cracked.  You'd have to figure,
you've gotta go through the entire car and replace
lots of parts which have deteriorated with age and
lack of use.  That's why I bought my Monza with 50K
miles that was well maintained, rather than the 13,000
mile example that probably wasn't. 

He has no feedback.  I guess it's Caveat Emptor here,
let the buyer beware.  Not that it's a fraud, but
you'd want to check the car out locally before
bidding. 

If he's a member of CORSA that would make things a
little easier for a buyer...Bill H.
