Post 67 Sprint

Jeff
Your photo of a 67 Sprint looks great, but what would it take to get that CL car into that shape?
We have all done a car that we really wanted, and realize when it's "finished" there is far more into it than could ever be recovered should we ever decide to sell.
It would have to go to someone who has a history with a similar car to get it restored.
If it was a complete Sprint, needing everything restored, it MIGHT be worth the asking price.
You know how hard finding a 67 Saginaw 4 speed is, and then the correct motor, carburetor, air cleaner, .....
After you're done assembling all the missing pieces, restoring and re-assembling, body work and painting, you would still only have a restored Sprint.
It would not be numbers matching, which is the only way it would make $$$$ sense.
I hate to admit it, but it will probably become another GTO

I just bought a black 66 Catalina convertible, pictured in my avatar, with a body that is in similar condition.
The difference is that it is a complete car, with a very decent, usable red bench seat interior, that has a running motor & trans.
It also started out out priced high, $4500. I wound up getting it for $1500.
I would think that $1500 would be the upper end price of that 67 Sprint to interest me
