Are you looking for all original for restoration, something to customize, something in between?

 

[Yota76]

I'm looking for mostly original. I don't want a big headache restoring. If it required small corrections then i'd have a look. I understand yours is a bit of a mess. I'd probably avoid.

I often see 42's for sale on Vancouver Island.

Trust me I've been focusing on BC cruisers. So far nary a response from most ppl. If you know of a site other than the usuals let me know

It is not a mess, but it is definitely not original, and it does need some work. The previous owner had some "unique" things done with it that I am only finding out about as I go along. Good luck with your search. I know a while ago there were a number of them in Calgary for sale. Have you posted in RMLCA? There are always things going by there.

Leave the Vancouver Island cruisers alone... We need them.

Thx for the info. I'll have a look.

Is $19k good value for an 82bj42 in good shape

 

[FJ404345]

Yes, can be

 

[Yota76]

Yes, can be

Thx.. Looks like I'm buying one via pics only. Other than frame pitting and a little rust under windshield, looks mint.

Better always go see it yourself or ask somebody out of the community closeby if he want to inspect it for you

I'm holding it with a DP, with intention to purchase. Not home for 10 days. It would sell quick I believe.

Found out the BJ was a salvageable rebuild twice. Doesn't mean much to me. As long as the frame is good. After all, old LC's have all been rebuilt a time or two.
