Having done two full teardown c-body restorations I wouldn't take this one on even if it was free.

That's okay. Not everything needs to be a full tear down to be an enjoyable car.

"Beaters are neater"

These are mottos I tend to live by.

Video chat with the FK5 went well. I didn't see anything that told me to run. The seller and I made a deal. The car will be getting pulled out in the next week or so and I'll have a truck out there to bring it home.

You the man!

There is wisdom in roadkill.
Get out there enjoying them.
Don't build them so nice you won't drive them. My dad did that to the charger, so since the day I inherited it I've been making it less nice by driving it =)

But not so beat as to let Robbie drive it =)

Exactly. I like melting tires. I like blasting down gravel roads. I had a nice survivor for a little while. Terribly un-enjoyable. Not to mention it drove like crap.

Gimme beaters all day long. They are more fun.

I have my limits, this one is way past that.

It doesn't matter how much time and money I put into my cars I drive them like daily drivers.

I understand. It deserves saving and I see the diamond in the rough.

I understand. It deserves saving and I see the diamond in the rough.

I'm pretty sure we all agree on that. However we all have solid reasons for not.
If you're willing, I'm glad it'll be saved.

 

[71Polara383]

It's pretty much what I expected it to be.

How far I take it is the next thing I need to ponder.

Not a solid or straight panel on that car.

Not a solid or straight panel on that car.

Doors are beautiful, trunk lid is beautiful, passenger fender is nice with a scrape up front. Hood is nice.

Quarters aren't terrible. It's in cue for restoration. I love it.

Knowing Wyatt, he wasn't after that car for that reason.
That car had been neglected and disgarded for years. He's making into something that will be enjoyed and driven.
Good for him.

I was after this car for one reason. My dad needs a Polara. And we like 70s better than 71s. His old car was a 70 Polara Custom. It was B3 with a white top and white buckets T code car loaded up. This is the perfect car to add a white top and white buckets to. I already have most of the metal it will need.

We'll see said the Zen master.

You don't have that much. You're doing 4 cars
