Hello forum!
I have a chance to buy a 1961 sunbeam alpine and am wondering if I should. The engine currently inside it is blown up but it comes with an identical out of another 61’ . The hardtop and body is relatively rust free, the only issues are is it’s missing a front bumper, whatever holds the back windshield in place, brakes? Are they safe nowadays, and the floorboards might need to be replaced. The current owner is asking 5000 ( Canadian ). I am surrounded by mechanics so fixing it up is not an issue but I wonder about part prices and if they have a solid resale value. I’m just a teenager so I don’t have loads of money to put into it but it truly is a beautiful car! Any feedback would be appreciated. ( also sorry if this isn’t the right forum )
