1953 Willys Aero Ace for Sale

[jbailey]

I just noticed an ad reposted 2 days ago on Craigslist listing a 1953 Willys Aero Ace 4 door for sale, just north of Seattle.  Unfortunately, the ad was not updated from its previous posting earlier this year.  The ad states that the car would be running by this summer - but a picture shows an empty engine bay.  I wish I had known that this car was previously located in Burbank, WA, which is about an hour's drive from where I live.  Now the car is located at least 5 hours away in my case.  The car looks very "savable".  I see signs of rust in the picture, but I cannot tell how extensive it is.  No shots of the interior are provided.  The asking price is $2000.

Update:

I emailed the owner of this car and received a reply.  The condition of this Aero Ace has not changed since the original ad was posted.  The owner has little free time and is unable to spend a lot time working on this car.  The car was formerly located in Burbank, WA (the dry side Washington state), but is now located in the Seattle area.  The car comes with the original motor, but the cylinder head is missing.

This car is back on Craigslist with no change in asking price ($2000).  A few more pictures have been added.  I can see more details in the pictures this time around.  The ad still says "This car will be running and driving by this summer get it now while it is cheap".

Here is this same ad again - still no change from the last time it was posted.  Asking price is still the same ($2000).
