I have had my share of hardships, but never like this. Crohn's Disease has won!
I am forced to abandon my project (hope, love, and dream)
I will never again have the health to complete her, or the money.. cuz these doctors have officially bled me dry.

Here is your chance to take over and build the monster I know she can be.
I will not part this out, comes as a package deal ONLY! $4500 OBO Takes it all..
Prefer to sell to someone that will keep her together and keep in touch.

340 block, and stand
rebuilt 727 torqueflite trans
Dana 60 rearend (narrowed)
All glass all trim (complete)
Car has been stripped and etch primed ( gutted, but complete)
New front and rear floor pans
New rear quarter Patch Panels
New rear cross Member
Both Automatic AND 4-speed pedal assembly
New Gas tank and sending unit
66 Dash and trim
64 Valiant Grill

Only thing missing is The front seats and steering column
the original rear seats are perfect
The car came with lots of extra parts and trim you can have everything.
PM me if interested, Shannon
Pick up only - Located in Streamwood Illinois

So what is all left that is needed? Maybe I'm missing something but it looks like it just needs put together.
 
Are there any FABO buddies near enough to make it a club project to finish it so you could enjoy the fruits of your labor in spite of your illness. I bet we could get an auction going to scrape up the funds needed to finish. Then when finished, you could sell it if you'd like or drive it as "therapy"

I'm in!
 
Easy on the bumping-mods will remove it...only once a week unless you're a gold member-then every three days. Even if its a good deal, people on this forum still need more than a day to look and go through all the ads...give it a few days and GLWS
 
God dang thats a smoking deal. I really hope everything works out for the best for both of you.
 
I would love to help on a build. The only issue I have is a newborn at home. Otherwise, I have 3 garages and restore cars as a business/hobby. Currently building a 71 Challenger.

Maybe if more folks get stirred up, we can plan a day or two to have an assembly party! True Club Fun!!!
 
Man if I was back home in Ontario, Illiinois aint that far and I would love to join into a good cause like this! Lots of members here have the know-how and tools, even if the car was put together and into primer....dont need a fancy paint job...paint it with chalk paint/flat black and have everyone sign it...
 
Sorry to hear you have to let your Cuda go after all the blood,sweat and tears,not to mention cash you put into her.
What is left for rust repair? Based on the photos the dana is a bare empty housing? Is the car up on stands or can it be rolled into a trailer? Thanks
 
Thanks for all the kind words guys it means the world to me. as for metal work thats left is the front and rear floor pans, rear quarter patches, rear crossmember,rear torque boxes,and sub frame connectors. I have all the new panels to finish. I have the car on homemade casters so it can be rolled around and moved easily. i just dont have the health or money to finish, motor and rear end still need built, my plan was to go with flaming river column,alterkation front end, steet lynz rear, wilwood discs all around, hydroboost,all new guages and just build it to be my own but my health and bills have gotten the best of me the last year. I was $400 dollars away from ordering my Alterkation front end when i was forced to pay medical bills with everything I had.
Thanks so much guys for offering to help put back together but I just dont have the money to do so.
But if Chip comes by I wont be mad at you guys.
Thanks again everyone.
 
Really sorry to read of your medical maladies. I hope you find a buyer and get your asking price. It is certainly worth it.
 
I hate to see someone loose his car to health problems.

I would volunteer to help get her back together if you were willing to.

Maybe not all of the custom suspension and stuff, would it be possible to put it back together with what you have (ie. stock suspension, stock interior, and build your engine?

I'm not a body man, but I can weld good. If we could hook up with someone good at bodywork, I could weld the floors in for you if you have a welder. I also can build engines, that I have been doing for over 32 years.

My point is, maybe we can't complete it like you had planned/dreamed, but maybe we can get it back together so you can drive and enjoy it a little.

I'm like 45 minutes away from you.
