Yup, life does happen all the time for good or ill. Good luck with the sale

I'm suprised they didn't say "California Car"

 

[commando1]

My intention was to restore the car but

Yah, yah, yah...

Maybe Nick can fix it.....

 

[mdh157]

that's going to be a very ambitious resto

I'll go down my my guy in Gettysburg and buy one of his 300 or desoto rags, at least they've been indoors for the last few decades

 

[detmatt]

Ouch!! The resto would cost well over 100K I bet. 100K if you were a do it yourselfer.

 

[1978 NYB]

I wonder how many parts you could find.....it needs virtually the entire interior, a ton of sheet metal, all bright work redone and polished, engine, txsm, axle rebuild. I would say it'll take at least $100k to fix her right.

"Little to no rust.....easy resto"

 

[BIGBARNEYCARS]

New top + Headliner, new bunz, skinz, and correct carpet are all just ah phone call away. Piece-ah-cake and you're only out 'bout 10K

 

[1978 NYB]

You think that could be restored for 10k?

 

[polara71]

Jerry does...

 

[BIGBARNEYCARS]

No Bob, I think what I listed could be done for 'bout 10K. I don't dispute the 100K to do it all and that number might very well be a little conservative. Theirz probably another 10K in gages, dash and bright work all together in the interior. Then we can work up a number to re-do the door skinz, And the Sweadez are recasting the steering wheel but it waz $895 exchange the last time I checked and theirz one guy in this entire country that they funnel every thing thru'! Then we could start on the stainless that'z attached to the glass before we go on to the out side and under hood and drive train. Oh BTW, the same guy that the sweadez have their steering wheel thing going with also iz marketing the new air cleaner coverz the Sweedez are re-popping, Round or oval your choice 'bout $650 ah set. I'm gettin'tired now and my artheritic pecker fingerz are killin' me. Later, Jer

Here is an Aussie business that specializes in steering wheel restorations, might be worth a look for some, cheers.

A fender tag a few rough parts for 10K...I don't think so.
