All you had to do was say it was for your car. say no more and enjoy your car... before it disintegrates.
Since it was the point of this post..
Mo- its oddly optioned and a great car in general, just gotta know metalworking. It's got rot at both ends, the floor and wherever else. Basically if this was a slant or regular 318 car.. a lot of people would part it and move on. I'm not saying I would ..but just painting a faiir clear picture here. You won't get the money if you were to ever sell it like a guy restoring a four-speed h code car would ...though you'll find you're going to put about the $ame amount of work into it.
Save it and share the progress with us if you want.
My friend had a 1971 gt that was in an odd yellow color with painted black roof , 8 3/4 3.23 and disc brake 318 auto. Neet car cause it was oddly optioned and mostly cause it was clean. 2 months later it was side swiped in long beach, parked, by a drunk in a panel van. Parted it.
He got more for the rear end than he paid for the car.
