That will be a "in the right place at the right time" for someone
Grandkids will look at that car.... say eeeuuuuu..... and flip it cheap.
Modern of course. I'd want it to go fast. ;)

You nailed it on the head. Can't see his grand kids digging that one....no how, no wAY
I've seen plenty of old school Hemi's in the 8's.
Yea, I know but I'd want A/C too.

When have you ever seen that???
Greedy relatives inherit an old car, remember last weeks Mecum auction and ask, er, no, DEMAND 3X the real value.
And usually before the body is cold....

I talked to the seller via email last night. Car sounds super clean, newly rechromed bumpers, freshly restored grill, separate big block k member, new rear leafs, some other new parts. He paid almost 6000 for the car when he got it. We both are gonna think for awhile and see if we can meet up on a price. I am not willing to spend near what he is asking, and he is asking for what he has into it. Not sure we can find a happy medium.

It's tough enough to recoup your investment in a car...... even tougher to recoup your investment when the car is incomplete.
It is a tempting project though.

He obviously hasn't learned the rules of the hobby yet.

I'm not sure a "Max wedge clone" would be a great idea for this car. By the time you locate and buy all the parts needed to do a correct "clone", plus the restoration costs, you could go out and buy a real Max wedge car.
Plus, you can't honestly represent it as a "Max wedge"...... And it would get old saying "NO" whenever someone asks...... Is that a real Max Wedge....!
The original type 383 in that car would be smooth, powerful and allow drivability to go anywhere you want. Just the MHO as a guy who likes to drive my cars.

I wonder how many guys who want to do a Max Wedge really know what a Max Wedge is.

So contact the woman and tell her how unreasonable he's being about selling the car...low blow but might get him down on the price...
