Possibly trading for a '65 Barracuda
I love to see someone so enthused to save an early fish but i must agree with the last statements made, it looks as tho this is a major project and will take lots of time and money to even bring back to a safe driver quality car, i suggest you pass and keep looking for a more solid base to start with. These cars really don't have much value even the well optioned Formula S is not a high dollar car [investment wise] so dumping a lot of money in one does not make good financial sense on the other hand those of us who love these cars are willing to spend the money because it's not about money or worth it's the appeal of the car it's self. I love mine and have no intent of ever selling it because they are unique and as was said before people always want to share a story about one, Every person who owns one and goes to shows has had the woman [who would have been 16 or so when this car was new] that walks up and looks thru the rear window [i keep my rear seat folded down] and suddenly gets this funny grin on their face , makes me smile and laugh inside every time. Best of luck on your decision sir have fun with your possible fish!!!!!
