Here is my predicament:

I recently found a 1965 c/10 LB for sale locally. It had a frame off resto done 18 years ago and has sat inside ever since. About a year ago, the guy sold it to someone who agreed to make payments. The guy never followed through with the payments, and by the time the origional owner caught up with him, he had blown the engine. The origional owner took it back and now is trying to sell it as a roller. It is in very nice shape with only a couple of noticible flaws. I want it as a cruiser in the summers which it would be perfect for, and I would probably save it for one of my kids when they get older.

He wants $2,000 for it, and I have a guy at the local shop that will give me a rebuilt 350 and put it in for $1,000.

Should I jump on it?
