Plum, they are probably the same photos you have. Seller did mention someone from Ontario expressing interest. Spook

I have no way (or knowledge) to be able to post what I have. Sorry. Just wanted some feedback before pursuing for possible purchase. Thanks. Spook

Add up what it will cost you for the car, the parts, the interior, all the rechrome costs, engine and tranny rebuilding costs, shipping costs and materials to do it correct, then any labor you will have to pay out and count your time as worth nothing then you will have an idea of what it will really cost. Then reality sets in when you figure out how many things you forgot to add in in the begining and all the surprises that popped up. Don't worry about the cost if you have money to spend and it won't put you in a finanical bind later, just do it for the love of the hobby if you can afford it in the long run.

sounds like Okla knows this car,,,,,,,,,, hmmmmmmm????

Not my first rodeo.... I guess besides the obvious cost of a total restoration the big question is do I really want an original car, or would I enjoy a clone that I build with the drive train that I can enjoy. Played the matching numbers game with Corvettes....not much fun actually as once you get the car finished you can't really drive it because of the fear of ruining the intrinsic value of an original car. Either way unless you are in the business of flipping cars one does not spend the time, effort, frustration and disappointment one faces in this car hobby except for love of the car. Thanks for your replies. Spook
 
And just think all this started when I sold my Viper with hopes of buying an A12 car or a hemi dart clone.... What a crooked road it has become. Spook.

That is where I am.
Build it because you love it and don't worry about the cost. That is where I am on my rag top. For me even though I am a purist I have learned my lesson and will buy a car that is already done and done correctly. I don't care if it is just a small block as long as it looks good and is good. I have had my go fast days where I could pass everything but the gas station and have no interest in doing that anymore.
 
Every car on this site are done for the love of the hobby. Don't expect a big payout from a 'A' body, greed will kill you here.
 
Thanks for the replies....so what does the group think that notchback is worth prior to restoration given the limited information????
 
Wow what a discussion. Kind of glad i,m a poor boy because when I finish the wifes 500 dollar 69 notch we will drive the hell out of it without a care in the world. An m code i,d probably be scared to back it out of the garage without a spotter.
 
OK then. Guess you won't be buying it either! LOL! Spook
 
Unfortunately, in todays age of digital, some are past it. I wouldn't condone the fact that there are no pics. Be inventive, hire someone to go photo the car for you. It's cheap. Then you can photoshop it, if you know how. ;0)


:cheers:

I think you need to hire a certified appraiser from just what you have said. I don't mean an insurance value appraiser, I mean one that will use comps to come to a fair market value. From what you have said I think the car is waaay over priced because I have too little facts to even take an uneducated guess. Then there is the drivabilty issue. If it has to be a trailer queen because of what it is then it isn't any fun either. If I am going to have to do a $50K+ restoration on it then I can't enjoy it like I can a $10K driver restoration. I have owned some of the trailer queen cars and in months I got rid of them just because they were no fun. I didn't buy them to flip and basically traded $$$$ if not loose on them.
