Is this expensive or what?
It does not even have a motor.

It has definately seen better days, I'd say less than half that. If you are looking for a '68 B block proiject, check the Seattle Craigs list, there is one that has been in there forever.

If he had a clear title, 5k would be a high price. This is a total basket case, with major body damage, no motor. There are many cars out there that are better places to start for that price. It could be done, but that is a rough one. If you are not married, have no significant other to see this thing when it comes home, I guess you could get away with it. Your call. My $0.02.

I'm thinking 9K without the motor is bad enough...but I'd feel like a real idiot for paying 14K to get the 427 and pile of parts to go with it.
I notice he doesn't really mention anything about his $5K 427. It's probably in pieces too.

He must be smoking some outrageous stuff there in Frisco. The package would cost you $14K and you have a car in terrible shape and in pieces. When you are done you could have a 68 NOM big Block for as little as $45K.
I think there might be a better way.

I went to a local auction this past weekend. Some of these prices are for real!! Remember the yellow '71 that went for $53K? It was NOT at the auction.
One owner turned down $35K for '68 'vert that had the wrong color interior and body as well as needing a full engine compartment work over. No A/C with an automatic.
