think 8/10 int for a 60s car is fine. potential key issues (assuming engine and gears are fine since they hav been overhauled recently):
- leakage
- susp: worn underarm, ball joints
- electrical prob

if these are fine, think it's a nice/affordable drive-once-a-while car to have. think will go take a look this weekend. infact, now i recalled that i might have seen this car on the road before near international plaza, the owner was blasting his engine and thought the response was quite good for a 60s car.

Speaking of Autobahn, went there a couple of times... forever their prices are super Mark up... geared towards dumb Ang Mohs ... imagine a

1. COE MX5, left 8yrs... asking price.. 65k...

Vomit blood, waste time asking.. No wonder after 1-2 yrs i still see the Grey GTO there... btw, the GTO 3.0 DOHC is selling for 80k. left 6.5 yrs
