No sense going up without the trailer.................I know you'll be bringing it home.

Being a four hour drive for me to drive up there, I didn't want to make the trip twice in case the car had some usable parts, so took the trailer. And you're right, bought the car for the price of a new windshield. The rest of the car was thrown in. 15 years of storage outside, even in an area next to Death Valley, took its toll on the car. The rear right quarter got hit hard from the back, pushing and bending the trailing arm forward. The entire engine cradle section is tweaked about an inch to the right. Is the frame repairable, won't know until I take the body off. With the dry climate, there is minimal rust on the frame. The seats got stolen during storage and apparently the windshield was not in place so the interior is pretty much roached out. Both bumpers and the entire front section is in great shape. Unfortunately the seller turned the engine over using a socket and breaker bar on the camshaft pulley bolt. I wonder what broke; he said the engine turned over freely.
Apparently the PO added a Hermes intake and Weber side draught carb, that will be worth keeping for my running S2.
The next step is to get the S2 off of my trailer when it won't roll. I'll try to rig up a suspension temporarily for the destroyed right rear and try to roll it off that way.
