I've still got my old project car which is a little further along than the last time we discussed it. The rolling chassis is about finished, engine is in the rebuilding process (correct WS block already align honed and bored). Most of the small parts are already painted (rad. support, bumper braces &brackets, pulleys, etc.) Bumpers and N-25 tips rechromed. Also sent in most of the small stuff for detail plating (yellow and clear zinc, phosphate, black oxide). The body is a little further apart, removed all of the heater/a/c stuff on firewall, along with the everything in the dash. Still haven't done anything with the RH outer wheelhousing and quarter. I'm not capable of doing bodywork or final painting, and don't really know anybody even within hundreds of miles that's any good. So the car is kind of "stuck" at the point it's at.
I really don't know what it's worth, although I know not a lot. But if I had to really give it away, I would part it first.
Hardtop, needs nothing. Why buy a project and spend money on it when you can buy a car that's done? It's a better investment and ready to go, not in the garage for a year taking up space. More than $20K but less than you'd spend fixing up a $20K car. Stage1 car, VIN authenticated. Original trans, replacement block.
I have an all numbers matching 70 Stage 1 convertible for sale,. 22k needs restoration. Frame is solid, lots of good options. Only 164 built. PM with interest.
