Hey cooljay, back in '77 i bought a car out of a someones yard in Vallejo..it was a 63 Falcon Futura Sprint, 260 4 speed, had a bad cam in it, otherwise was damn near perfect. I paid $35.00 for it and sold it about six months later for $3200. I put a junk yard cam in it to get it running.
I used to pull cars for a guy that had Sunshine Auto Wreckers....if you took the exit off 80 at the top of the hill (coming from Fairfield) and went down by the dirt track (which I think is now gone) he was in that area. Don't know if he's still there or not.
I have a 65 vert and like was mentioned they are not bringing much restored, it'll definately cost you more to restore then you could hope to get out of it from an investment standpoint. If I had it to do over I probably would have looked for one that just needed a motor or a little body work or just the interior redone, instead of what I got needs everything.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
