1968 convetable w 327
Check out this link: http://www.crankyape.com/default.asp...emNumber=37677
I looked at this car. Hurricane flood victom. The motor is locked up, the water was over the height of the seats. Brackish/salt water. The engine will need replaced as well as the transmission and rear end. It does roll back and forth but very hard. Interior looks very nice. It has been cleaned. The paint is not orginal or even the oem color.
I was thinking this would be a 3k max car as is.
Complete motor 5k
Transmission 1k
rearend 1k
Misc brakes 1k
Misc electrical 1k
Add it all up and you have 12k if you did your own work. Sounds to high for a salvage titled car. What do you think???
I could not get a good look at the frame, But it has to be rusty.

The car has been underwater, and you will be, also, if you try to revive it. This car will need to come completely apart, (body off frame), and have every mechanical piece rebuilt or replaced, all electronics, including all wiring, replaced, complete interior replacement. Then there is paint, trim, and whatever else, and you will still have a car with a salvage title. Run from this one....

3 k would have been my max. I could have made a fun sand rail out of the body. Yep a sand rail 33 X 18 paddle tires on the rear of a tube frame with a ZZ 383 fast burn under the hood. Oh, well someone is getting a basket case. Al
