Just off the top, it sounds "pretty danged good" to me. If there is little rust or wrinkles, it could probably be parted out for more than the $1700. Course, I'd want to see it in person first and crawl all over it. Photos never tell the whole story. And the fact that the engine rolls over is a very good sign, but hearing roll over is better. Best of luck, you just might be on to something. I flew from Texas to Utah to check out my project and it was definitely worth the trip...but probably only to me, of course.
