I am in a position to pickup the following vehicle. I am pretty sure the guy is going to want about $17,000 for it. It is not running, non original motor, but the rest of the car is all original in parts....
Here are all the details:
Green on green coupe
Real BB car
rear and tranny match (M21)
original side pipe car
ps/pb
telescop
leather
head rest
power antenna
am/fm radio
real KH knock offs (originals to car)
all glass intact and date code correct
There is no docs on the car, but tank sticker might be there (never dropped or body removed)
Misc info:
car needs a complete front clip
complete repaint
LS6 (512 block) engine in the car
needs all bumpers
needs complete redo/re upholstering of interior
needs muffler/pipe assemblies (has covers)
alternator/carb etc.. non original
My intentions would be to create a really nice driver. I would reuse the LS6 engine and get a nice press mold/jigged Ecklers clip.
If I made a budget of $35K does anyone think it be worth the time and effort ?
Could I buy a car like this in "driver" resto quality for $52K ?
I am not concerned with this car being NCRS numbers car - it would cost a small fortune to locate all the parts. Even getting a dated 427 (blank pad or wrong #) is expensive as all hell.
Im just trying to wrestle with taking on the project or not.
Any insight or opinions are always welcome..
