If it is that rusty, you will probably have almost 3,000 in materials not including the sheetmetal you would need. Nice project, nice car! Worth the money... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Sam

Sounds like a great project, don't expect to get it on the cheap, however. These cars are now at the same price the COPO's were at just 3 years ago. Probably will appreciate more as less COPO's are available in project form. You must save the body, especially with an original drivetrain. Do whatever it takes, and if possible, use an original floor.

Just for fun, let's hear what some of you think it is worth? RS, good color, am radio, no other options, running, body shot - needs everything!

Mark:

If the new guy can put his 2 cents in, this should be a two part question. The second question should be, what do you think it would cost to fix this thing right? Even with a 67 Z I think you would have more money into it than it would be worth when it was done. Again this means doing the car correctly with original parts whenever they can be found.
