With rollers. Or what looks like a roller jobI've seen new people paint old cars..............
And old people paint old cars...I've seen new people paint old cars..............
hoppy trying to verify the 6k thing.and old paint...
Oh fk, I don't know. What were we talking about?
Nice to see you are paying attention, but it was a rhetorical question -while I await a response from Hoppy about the mileage records. I did miss how much he paid for it though...hoppy trying to verify the 6k thing.
i think it was 2500 but i could be wrongNice to see you are paying attention, but it was a rhetorical question -while I await a response from Hoppy about the mileage records. I did miss how much he paid for it though...
No I think it was much cheaper 1k ishi think it was 2500 but i could be wrong
ssssh its a secret, im always paying attention, i just play dumb at times to make you all feel better
i could be wrong, i thought his SIL was paying half and his was so it might have only been 1000 ish. Either way, its a stealNo I think it was much cheaper 1k ish
i'd leave it as a survivor/ original. its worth more than way. I've heard this said before and i dont recall where i heard it, but for every point on the restoration score card, figure 1000-1500 bucks.Even if he can prove 6K, is that car 'special' enough to justify a '100 point' resto? I see stupid high asking prices made up by people with Barrett Jackson glasses. But does anyone actually sell them?
He mentioned floor pan. That's not an easy repair to achieve 100 point results. For that matter any of the sheet metal. Wouldn't that require either FULL panel or perfect butt welds?
My car is not even close to that level and I have $10K in it with me doing all the work. What is a realistic sale price for that car done either 'good' or '100' . Even getting in low I rarely see anyone make money restoring. It's the clean up and glue job paint that seems to bring the best ROI. Not saying that is the way to go. I think he should build it for Marilyn and get rid if the Firechicken. Would definitely class up the driveway @halifaxhops
The 68 Road Runner I restored scored 92 points at the Nats, in 2013. I only got 50K for the car when I sold it..WTF ??? LOLi'd leave it as a survivor/ original. its worth more than way.

While it is a great car for it's age, Unfortunately it is not in good enough shape as a survivor. Biggest problem is it was painted. I would definitely take it back to original as he plans to do. Just at a level a little higher than I did mine. Not trying to do the 100 point thing.i'd leave it as a survivor/ original. its worth more than way.

very true. Problem is its a 64 slant 6 barracuda. Very hard to put a value on those. its not a high desired car, nor any high dollar options. Its a nice car for its age. He got a steal for sure. If he does it to flip, i dont think he'd make his money back.While it is a great care for it's age, Unfortunately it is not in good enough shape as a survivor. Biggest problem is it was painted.

Yep,It will cost $35K+ to do a car nice. Forget the 100 point thing. I have 15k in my 66 and it looks like this and it's a long ways away from being done.

yep. build it the way you want. 100 point cars have their place, but not for me.Yep,
I know he would do a lot of his own work. Get Chuck to paint it, etc. But Hoppy knows what what it takes to put out a 100 point distributor. Now translate that to every part on the car.
I hope to build another car someday, but I will probably do a 'freestyle' so I don't need to sweat the details.
She's got freckles on her but I love her just the same!Have I mentioned that I like freckles?
