New guy seeking advice

[Colemanhaus]

Hi Guys,
New to group. And to owning a cruiser. I'm retired and hoping to check-off a bucket list goal of owning a classic. So, I'm looking at a possible purchase of a 78 cruiser. I've attached pics from the seller.
Any advice?
Thanks
Dave

Unless your want a major project, I would steer clear of this one. Whole lot of rust on the body, which usually means the frame ain’t too good either. Engine looks original and complete which you don’t find often on these.

All depends on what condition your after. That one would cost 20-30k to get the body back to good and another 5-10 on the interior.

Agree, looks pretty beat. Plus being that old, parts will be hard to find and expensive. You are looking at some big problems to overcome. Have you test drivin this old classic?
