Depends on if your planning on parting it out or fixing it. Birdcage repairs can be expensive. :yesnod:

FWIW. Good Luck!

Extra L88 hood, new bird cage comes with--if this puppy was near me, I'd be tempted--definitely more than $4500 worth of parts. Pretty rough project for restoration, though.

If the frame really is good (hard to believe unless it's been replaced, judging by the birdcage and the rust on those pipes), It's a steal for a high option factory A/C car. Automatic hurts a little.

Birdcage rotted ... but frame is clean. :skep:

All this says is that they washed the frame. :lol:

Seriously, though - most frames look OK, until you lift the body. :yesnod:

Still, it's not a bad deal for someone with big skills and small budget.
