Sad thing is 99% of the cars in the $10-$13k range need to be restored if you look at them closely - years of hidden sins.
Or they are clean body ugly color typical 350 cars with A/C, bench seats and presentable.
Still $10k away from being a 12 second street/strip car.
What I am seeing is it takes over $15k to touch a clean body with good colors and nice driveline and some waiting to find one.
I feel the economy sucks - shouldn't toy prices drop?
The days of a $5000 Lemans clean basic driver and $10,000 Lemans clean street/strip car are gone.
Sad, so sad. |

looks nice but read: been painted, gaps not great, bubbles, dash cap, wrong seats, wrong motor with no balls, has many needs but a nice driver as it sits , best thing is a 4 speed car.
worth $8500 with probably a $13k reserve. How can you justify putting more money into it when it will always be a restored non-stock Lemans?
Sorry - I'll leave your thread alone - just sharing your frustration and afraid to sell my project to look for the same thing you are..
