dear members,
not sure if I am posting this in the correct area as I am fairly new hear.
but I would like some advice. I am looking at a 65 cuda I have the fender tag and it reports to be a factory 273 commando 4 sp car. lets be honest its a basket case, no frt clip no drivers seat and in fact very little useable interior. heavy damage to the rgt rear quarter, very little [if any] useable crome a 2 bbl small block sits under the non exing hood [im assuming a 273,]valve covers off and no carb, so probably rusted solid, but all the drivetrain is there front to rear.
now the upside, I live in north Idaho, so the car is solid as far as rust goes, a little in the areas you would expect bodywise, but nothing structural.
all the glass is there including the back glass its been sittin in the same wrecking yard for 15 years I know the man who owns the yard, anyway, I wanted to buy this as a project for my son and myself, he is 22 and has severe health problems so want a project to keep his mind busy, I was going to pay 1000 for it but the started researching p/a and changed my mind lol, do any of you have an idea what I should pay? less? more? any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks, spud
