I agree with you guys... and I have yet had anything become yard art although I think yard art is better than the crusher. As far as price ... yup I could and may take less, but I have never had anyone offer me more over and above fair prices, but I will admit I have paid more than the asking price on goods and services I procured. I would love to see these go to a good home. but I have a limitation as to how low I go (in price that is). I am currently parting out a couple of other cars and as I move through my staged projects they will all move up in rank and priority as to becoming a project for me. I am only working one at a time and am willing to part with these. Make an offer if interested and keep in mind the valuations offered by Hagerty to justify the project. The more look at the number, the more I think about doing it myself As far as the Mopar question... its funny I was President of the Chrysler Club's Wisconsin Region for 5 years and have some stuff will sell. Look at the Mopar Groups for sale stuff and you may see something you want I have listings in there also. Take Care, Bruce

I never said any of those values were represented by either of these two examples. I only stated these are Hagerty Valuations as a basis of whether or not it would be worth pursuing. If fact I think somewhere along the way I mentioned you would need the 2 to make one good one. I have only restored one car that was comparable to the condition of these ... maybe it was a little worse because it had a lot of Wisconsin rot in it. It took a couple years to finish on a part-time basis but came out class 2 plus; ended up selling it and got class 2 plus money for it. I cannot imagine restoring a car with the goal of making it class 4 unless I guess if you have no experience and are just learning. But even then you should have higher aspirations and the valuations certain justify this project if you have the experience and big enough gonads to try it. If you don't know how ... don't try it. ALso stick with one major project at a time. I'm simply at the age of not wanting to spend that kind of time on any huge project again and my disability (bad back), would require twice as much time to do it than I would have need 20 or 30 years ago. If you do your own work you'll put 20 grand into finishing one up. The more you farm out, the more you'll spend. If you don't know how to do anything don't try it unless you are young, stating out and learning. But if you don't ever try to tackle a project like that... you really won't ever have the satisfaction of completing one. Twenty grand, your labor and time can get you more than double your money. The worse I have done so far is breaking even ... I don't think that's too bad after having 50 wrench turning years. The only thing better than learing about a car that you love and doubling your money to me is a beautiful woman and I have one of those so priorities have shifted to time with her and not in the resto shop.

Ahhh ... the #4 Fair value was given at $9,800 ... OH those are Hagerty valuations

I'd take the project on .... the two of them plus some homework could make a nice ride. But its more than I want to do at my age. If I have a project is a lot easier than this one. Im trying to get out what I got in it and see someone have a rare car. Did you see the price guide on these thing ... that's one of the reason I was interested. Did you see the vlues on these little bombers?Current Values #1 Concours$48,500 Condition #1 vehicles are the best in the world. The visual image is of the best vehicle, in the right colors, driving onto the lawn at the finest concours. Perfectly clean, the vehicle has been groomed down to the tire treads. Painted and chromed surfaces are mirror-like. Dust and dirt are banned, and materials used are correct and superbly fitted. The one word description for #1 vehicles is "concours." #2 Excellent$35,900 #3 Good$16,500 #4 Fair Wow ... I figure w ell worth while even lomg term project

Two 1968 Datsun 2000 project cars I will never get to. Yes I will clear out any junk in the cars to get them ready to pick-up but they need a good home to bring them back. $3000 firm for the 2 of them. No parting out at all. Price is firm otherwise they will stay yard art.
