hi i also saw these two on ebay. just a couple of things, originally the doors did not hold up (can see the pole!). if a car was excellent before the flood, why didn't the owner change the struts for a few dollars. on the latest advert, you can see some banjo bolts on the engine, so clearly its been worked on-not just flushed!!. for flood damage, why would you flush the transmission?? isn't it a sealed unit, otherwise oil would leak under pressure?. surely engine would need to be pulled-perhaps the current owner thought clean the plugs etc and would start!!!. is not winding car mileages back/misrepresentation illegal in the US? as in the UK.....but not prosecuted very often.
