Buying a 1967 Mark III BJ8

    Buying a 1967 Mark III BJ8

    Ok, I'm a newbie, so forgive me if I have some basic questions.

    I have found what appears to be a repairable 1967 Mark III..  Body looks ok. Plenty of surface rust, everything is there, Silver dollar size rust hole in bottom of the passenger door panel. Mice got to the carpets, etc...  So interior is all there but will needs new carpets and seat kits etc.... (I'd replace anyway) Id does roll, and you can cycle through the gears.

    Engine wont turn, seems to be frozen in a couple of cylinders, but again... all there. Oddly, all the chrome is really good except badges. If the frame is ok, what might a good price for this be? The guy is asking 11,500, which I think is steep but maybe not. I need some good sound advice here. This has now been sitting outside for a few months.

    My expectations are that It'll probably be a year or two to get this into a running vehicle...  and lots of time to do the interior stuff.  I love this car, but am i jumping too soon?  Oh, one more question. From what I understand, NY didnt do titles prior to 1972. He does not have an original transferable registration, so the car comes only with a Bill of sale. Is this normal? 

    Many thanks for your advice
