Obviously I havent seen the car but when I looked it over on my device earlier it looked pretty nice. Sure things arent correct or may need to be repaired but for me to locate a rust free ragtop, what would that cost me? If I find a rusty car I need to pay for it then repair the rust, more body work to follow then paint...what am I into it for now? Thats before anything else.
I had a project Polara convertible, One of the Rose Bowl 440 cars if you recall. I paid somewhere around $3500 for the car, another $750 for shipping. I replaced many of the front end parts and all the brake parts were new. I also had someone replace the trunk pan. That pan cost me $500 from Murray shipped. Without the installation cost. I was six grand into the car and it didnt look it. I had plans for the car, big plans. My plans when complete would have yielded me a Polara similar to this car. I probably would have had thirty five or more into it once done but when would it have been done?
Mike in Nebraska now has the car and he has similar visions of grandeur for the car and I hope he pulls it off. I didnt have the patience, money or time left here on earth to complete it.
I personally would rather start off with a car mostly done or original and improve things from there. If I wanted a Modified Fury convertible, and I certainly wouldnt mine one. Id look at this car regardless of the coin. $25 large isnt as large as it used to be.
