Thanks for your offer but I ran out of time. The car was a replica looked like a 54 MGTF with a 289 ford V8. The car had some red flags about it. It had been sitting up since 2002. It ran hot and steam came out of the engine in front. The seller was holding back some info I'm sure. Radiator problems no sweat, but I think it was a head gasket blowm. It only got 1 offer sold for $7250 it was a $20,000 if in good condition. I really need some eyes on before buying. I was too lazy to drive 6 or 7 hours to see it myself. Maybe next time.
