I will probrably end up keeping both. The 85 anny is about 5000 dollars away from being a 2000 dollar car,but a keeper none the less. I can always put it away and slowly pick away at it. The 84 Elan is a texas car and doesnt really need much,I had to save that one from a guy that was going to butcher it(pro stock hood scoop,side pipes and air shocks was his plan). Only after I discovered this site I realized how little these cars seem to bring, and I paid too much for the Elan with 56k on the odometer (1700 roughly) I thought I got a deal and thought it was worth more!!! No big deal, I have always liked these cars and value doesnt really matter. Who knows they may be valuable in the future seeing as they are basically extinct around here, I only see the occasional beater.....
I am joes brother in law and as he posted above, I rescued another t bird. Now I have the tough choice on which one gets to stay... The 84 elan is very clean but has suspension,brake and some minor mechanical issues but zero rust. The 85 has lots of surface rust and some mechanical problems obviously because it sat for so long. What would you guys do?
