 |
|
Wasn't really in the market for a new project, but I have the opportunity to pick this up in the next week or so and am curious what it is worth.
It's been sitting for a while clearly and the driver window is broken so I'm sure the interior is trashed as well. It is a complete car that was parked and forgot about. I've always been more of a bug guy myself, but I wouldn't mind picking this up for the right price and fixing it up.
Let me know!

Paint missing off the decklid makes me think engine fire. Lots of visible rust means lots of invisible rust. Interion open to the elements means thrashed. Sunk into the ground means rotted floorpans. Plus it's a fatchick.
I'm thinking $200 if it has papers. The glass is worth something.

well if you grab it to part out I want those upright thingys that go on the bumpers  I've been looking for those for like a year and a half.
I've got a '73 vert and love it for my daily driver. But there are alot of fat chick ghia haters and they're not the "most desirable" when it comes to restoration. You'll spend more fixing it probably than you'd ever get back on it based on those photos. It looks pretty rotted :/ |

Just by seeing those pics i think that's better off as a parts car. And as already said, looks to have had an engine fire.

What's the front look like? If the nose is trashed, it's probably not worth more than parts. However, if the bumpers & over riders are good, there's your money right there!
What's a "fat chick" ? |
