Stumbled on a Pair of Early Cudas

disagree...ecomically even with shipping, better off buying A done car. especially with the body and metal work those cars need. 2200 is hardly a bargain and unless you can do the work yourself you'll way over invest and even then you have to ask your self if its worth you time. also numbers matching? not a corvette doesn't matter, if anything it improves value. these cars are not that rare....and sadly outside our community here not that desirable.

unless you are just looking for something you can slap together on te cheap (I have even there)..I would pass.

even if you did get it you are looking at the following + labor.
150 fuel tank
60 sender
300 tires
2000 (?) stock rebuild on motor and trans (you not going to buckle his mystery motor in there)
200 radiator
50 carb rebuild kt
400 new rear leafs, hangersm ubolts
300 paint and primer, add 300 for Macao paint job or 2-3000 for a decent real one if you don't plan on doing it yourself
400 brake rebuild, add 250 for disc brake conversion
500+ interior
100 floor pan
100 trunk pan
50 new ujoints
100 new shocks
300+ new exhaust
300 seals, rubber etc
300+ new brake and fuel lines

Point taken but ad says body outside done [owners's opinion] needs floor pan trunk pan. Has parts car [donor of said sheet metal?] i'm building a charger currently including purchase price we are into it for 2300$ budget goal is finished product 10 grand or less. The sheet metal is done we are doing the body prep now [engine machine work was done prior to purchase] that saves us quite a bit. I do all my own work so far nothing has been farmed out [when we get our intake,H.P. manifolds] they will go to a friend along with the heads for port/polish,port matching i'm not able to do that. We are still up in the air about painting it ourselves or sending it out got a couple of friends willing to squirt it for extra income.
