'64 Cuda 225 Pushbutton Fix or Sell?
Update...
Still have the cuda, was able to score floor pans, wheelwell, lower rear and front quarter panel pressed patch panels. Scored repop emblems, decent headlight bezels and other used trim from some nice folks who had just sold theirs as they were retiring and moving . Bought a house with a shop. Still think it's too much work as will need to buy all the body tools etc.
Last weekend after golf saw the car the retirees sold at the local A&W so I wheeled back around and had a nice physical distance chat with the owner.
Man it is nice already has the 273 pb- 81/4 rear dual exhaust. Body work is a few years old and you can tell on the rear wheelwell.
I told him about mine and the time it would take me to fix. (I am running out of it).
He told me he was thinking of selling it for $14-$15K.
I am seriously thinking I cannot complete mine for that amount of cash with needing new motor, Tran, rear, paint, interior on top of all the body work for the patch panel I already have. Especially if I have to pay someone to do the work.
I feel that I would be much happier having bought a running 64 and driving it than spending the rest of my life attempting to get mine on the road.
This way I can take the wife out on a Sunday instead of cutting and grinding...
Of I were to sell mine what would it be worth with all the patch panels etc?
Ballpark so I don't get burned.
Appreciate any thoughts.
