$1,000,000...there see, you got a great deal! Don't give it a second thought.

Just want to make sure I dont start trowing money away. So come on guys help me out Please...

I'll take a stab - my guess is: $11,500 The pluses are definitely the mech. mods but the original 6 banger and the incomplete body work doesn't help the overall cause.

beings that the car is taged as a 6 banger I would not have given more then humm humm lets see here knowing that it needed a inner rocker and floor pans exhaust and seat cover and paint work oh what the hell id say if i knew that stuff not more then humm 9-11k max.:p

It will depend how much iceing is on the cake when you start sanding and replacing panels!

Do you mind if I ask, did this car come from Florida?

Do you mind if I ask, did this car come from Florida?

I was able to get info on the last two owners Both were from MA.
The previous owner def NO. The owner before him had it Reg in MA but could have had it Fla @ some point.

Valid point

Valid point

Here is what I can tell you and also what makes your point valid.

I already checked the 1/4's and they are clean. doors I checked from the ouside and looked form the inside and they look good as well. Right fender is new. Left I planned on replacing anyway.

The areas that Are unknown and validate your concerns are around the front and rear windows and Dash and cowl.

However my plan is to have a driving project for a few yrs. Once all the updates are in place E.g Brakes steering suspension ect.. And I get the bug to redo it. I will tare it down to bare bones and do all of the body work that needs to be done.
Thats my plan for now @ least.

I paid $500.00 for this. These are pictures of it after i got her home and cleaned her up some.

Ohhh.........did I say this was 1995.........sorry about that. :D :p

i almost bought a running 67 w/ 17'tt2's and a shiney orange paint job last weekend. 350 /4 speed/ 10 bolt rear and ok interior. he was asking $11, 500 as it sat. I had a body man take a close look at it and determined there was "too much iceing in the cake". although it was solid underneath, redoing/replacing can become costly. if i wanted to race it, its fine as she sits, however, if i want to fix the body, rockers, inner panels, i was in for another $8-10K depending how much is gone and has to be replaced and re-done. bottom line, he said its a $7k car if you want to fix it. I really did'nt want the car after that. I recently finished a 69 that cost $8k to finish and was not interested in repeating. Yours looks to be in much better shape than what i was looking at last weekend. good luck

Did you buy it in 1990?

Did you buy it in 1990?
No a few months ago. Yes I know the pipes and wheels are hidious. I think that is one of the reasons I got it so cheap

From what I can tell, the dogs look pleased also! Hope they don't like to chew stuff.:)
