I would be interested in buying it. If it didn't have a hole in the roof

The hole in the roof makes it better......the trunk is what concerns me, looks like it has a heavy full patch done on it, a quickie job instead of repl the pan

When I talked to him he didnt make me think it had that much work done to it. Nice enough car, I wish they left it alone.

That convertible would be nice but the price is way too high for a car that needs a lot done to it.

what do you mean, 'left it alone?'

 

[polara71]

Its been repainted? Correct? The original interior color was white, correct?

 

[mdh157]

that's right, the interior.i forgot abt that. nothin wrong with a repaint, esp if it is the orig color and good quality. the interior was 2 steps down though.

the hole in the roof is the dealkiller for me. If I want fresh air: Buy a Convertible. Everything else is a compromise.
It is not really worth restoring it (financially). Just drive it as it is

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

forgot: yes, they should have left the trunk as it is. Because now all the rain can get out there anymore ))
And as I said it isn't worth a full resto

 

[polara71]

Many C bodies arent worth a full restoration, financially. This one is a nice driver but needs work. The interior needs to go back to white

Not too oftern restoring a C body makes financial sense.

And there's the sad truth right there. Doomed to a life of mediocrity followed by a slow painful death.

 

[polara71]

Thats where us C body guys come in. Its not the price its the passion

 

[Stormer]

Yea, you're talking to someone who's gonna put 80k+ into a car that will be worth 20.

There is hope for you but you gotta stick around

 

[commando1]

Find me the right Fast top and yah, I'll get totally stupid on it.

 

[detmatt]

I've found the right car and think that I have less into it then its worth. The question is, fix the paint in an effort to keep it original or a total repaint? A repaint would certainly put me upside down in it money wise but this doesn't bother me because the passion level is all there. What will end up happening is a resto of the original paint and if that doesn't turn out then a repaint is in the future.
that being said, I do like the vert but that's crazy money!

A nice original car should stay original as long as possible

A nice original car should stay original as long as possible

This will be engraved on my headstone.
