I am going to send what I have to Galen Glover to see what he can say about the car.

Just remember, you don't have to buy all the parts at once. Keep your eyes peeled and look for deals. When I did the road runner I had before this one, I hunted the swap meet at the Nats,moparts,e bay,MCG. Fould quite a few good deals. If you're looking at AMD parts, contact Jeff at 521 Restorations. Great guy, quick response, and saved me a bunch.

 

[tqfastfish]

ok, will do, this car will not be a quick resto, My dad is planning on buying a dustless media blaster in the summer and then I will blast the whole car and put it on a rotisserie and prime and then its going to wait for my dart to be donr

Thanks

Welcome from Alberta, Canada. It is great to see someone as young as you get "hands on" experience in car restoration. It will bring you a sense of accomplishment that money can't buy. :cheers:

 

[tqfastfish]

does anybody have a rough idea on what it would be worth the way it sits?

 

[Basketcase]

selling out already?

 

[tqfastfish]

nope, just wanting to see whats it worth. haha

 

[Basketcase]

well it's worth what someone would pay for it. I traded a 383/727 that came out of a '67 Charger that a buddy gave me for this.

 

[Basketcase]

q lot of hard work and swap meets,internet, I got it close before losing it.

 

[Basketcase]

after my garage fire, I found this one. I had looked at cars from $3500 to $25000. Not all worth the asking. But $9000 got me a new interior,rebuilt original engine,Post car,4 speed and F8 code. Plus I drove it for 5 years before sending it to the bodyshop, where it only needed quarters and a few small patches.
