Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
You're delusional if you think that's an easy project that's just going to fire up and drive home.
stick with your 245s...leave this heap alone.........unless you have 15 grand laying around
You may well be a little light on the guess, but you're probably close....not including time involved, of course.
If you plan on doing the work yourself and just like tinkering on stuff(like I do) I'd go for it. I have a '67 also with noticeably more of a patina than that one, but with no major rust. It sat for 22 years before I bought it. Stupid purchase? Maybe, but I've had fun with it. There are none around here rusty or not. It's hard to pass one up that's not just horrible. So yeah, barring major rust that you're not seeing I'd offer about half what he's asking since it's sitting and in unknown condition. Paid $550 for mine.
I had mine running after a week, but spent the next year cleaning fuel tank,working on brakes etc before it was actually drivable. Still rocking the busted windshield. Hardly a day goes by that someone isn't asking about it or making a comment, even in it's rat rod state. Plenty still to be done, but I drive it about every day just as it is.
You old men are so cynical. Funny, everyone on this forum is a cheap, young, broke cretan! Making assumptions that no one has the time, skill, resources or desire to carry out a project! Online bullies, what are you trying to compensate for! Makes me laugh! Funniest part of all your comments is that I didn't suggest anything about my financial standing, I simply asked what would make this a safe purchase. Even the rich if they are smart question certain expenses. Not sure why I am even defending myself against you people.
As for you Roy, don't mistake me not wanting to buy something from you as me being a cheap ass who is not financially capable. You are just plain arrogant, and I'd rather take my business elsewhere. So take your BS thread bashing somewhere else. All you do is bicker!
This is right on, I have learnt to take my time with cars, especially with cars that need this amount of work. It's one step at a time, thinking that everything is going to get done all at once is stupidity. It would be a nice project to park in the garage, cruise, fix, cruise, fix, enjoy, fix, get vexed with, fix, enjoy and maybe sell or keep! Only time will tell! I can't wait to be an old disgruntled man and see no hope in anything!
LOL wait till you price what the serious ol' guys get for 120 parts in good condition...and NOS is FEW and FAR between too. It sure won't be at broke ass TB prices........
But if you have the time and the big bucks to restore it...have at it.
