There's a C900 on the classifieds here that is just an hour away from me. I thought I'd go take a look. The ad states that the transmission coupling broke, but other than that, the car ran and drove well before.
After a phone call, and several emails to arrange a time to go look at the car, the guy admits that the transmission seized!
Now, I'm happy to have a project car (I'm looking for a C900 after all), but replacing a transmission is a bit different than replacing the shift linkage. When I hesitated (having been given new information), I received a rather terse email telling me to, pretty much, go jump in a lake.
"Sorry I bothered you."
