Was it sold new in Canada , or USA ?
I sort of think a "paid labor" full frame off restore including drivetrain etc ... might be break even on its market value. Especially if a lot of NOS items got thrown into the mix. Would be a close call.
Labor keeps going up , materials have gone crazy in price .
NOS 69 parts are very scarce now , making them mostly exclusive to Ram4 Judge and J-Vert in price.
If it were a RamAir 3 , with SR block , it would go upside down quickly.
Do whatever you can , or whatever you can afford , and keep enjoying it
Its really neat to have something like that with family ties.

It was sold in Canada. Is the Phs worth getting as well or do they have any more details? I’ll get some pictures of my vintage vehicle documents.
Actually that’s one of the reasons it’s been hiding in storage so long as I have always wanted to do a concours resto on it. I have talked to a few shops that do unreal work and would love for one of them to do but it’s a lot of $$!
I ended up with a good opportunity with a body guy that does very clean thorough work. So the tear down has started. One thing I wanted to do is keep as much original body panels as possible but that really increases the labour! He is talking about all new panels then obviously they are working with rust free panels and can give me more of a “Guarantee” in a couple years I won’t start seeing rust coming back.
That’s kinda why I was wondering about acid dipping. My fenders and doors aren’t that bad to me. So would acid dipping get rid of 100% of the rust and be the same as starting with new panels besides what ever damage was done by the rust??
