Saw the car...
The car was rough but I knew that going in. The elements have not treated the car very well to say the very least.
The Bad: Frame is rusty, even having deteriorated so far as to leave a rusted out void. The doors do not close all the way, creating an opportunity for rain and or snow to gain access to the driver’s compartment. It is right hand drive and an automatic. The front end had a pretty extensive bit of damage to it... the impact must have been pretty hard since it cracked the exhaust manifold. Interior is faded in spots and will need the full treatment to make right.
The good: It is an Aston Martin DB6
It has what looks like a complete motor which was running not too long ago... hopefully not for long since the radiator was lost in the crash. The transmission allowed the car to move around the "farm". Decent/below average wire knock off wheels. Steering wheel, gauges, hood/"bonnet", behind the doors the cars body was decent (I'm sure due to the aluminum body)... etc
I will be posting some pictures of the car soon as it sits (these are not for the weak of heart!)
I didn't know what the car was worth so we haven't struck up a deal yet... The car is not for sale but I think it would be good (If it is worth it) to get the car before any more damage happens to it. Snow will be here soon.
Somebody in this community has to have some advice for me on what the value of the car as a whole is worth and what some of the major parts are worth.
Thanks Mike
