Looks a little scary. Halfway decent on the outside, but I'll bet there is LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of work hidden in there. Ripe for a frame-off, but the price is getting a little high for that to be your starting point...

Hi,
I agree with Keith that current $7300 bid might already be too much for this car.
Even if a person did EVERYTHING themself they'd have to be careful about the money they're spending on things like paint, chrome, interior, exhaust, and tires, etc..
Regards,
Alan

I don't know.....seems pretty decent where I'm sitting, I see guys here asking that much for 76's that barely run. It has new brakes and tires, put $1000 into it right away and you have new mufflers and the steering sorted out......bingo, you're on the road in a chrome bumper car for around $8500. I'll take that ride all day long in these parts. The NCRS guys would want to tear it apart and look at it in a garage for the next 5 years.......my way at least you get to enjoy it and do the other work piece meal as the dollars and time allow. I kinda like a little patina, you're still gonna turn heads at cruise nights, and the absence of $10,000 worth of body and paint isn't going to turn it into a garage queen.

Fatcat, The trim plate photo shows rust streaks on the lower left side, below the aluminum plate itself. Lou.
