Thoughts on this car for a project with my pops

Hey Dan, great to hear you and your pops are going to start a project together. I know you will get a ton of great advice here. From my own personal experience rust is the biggest factor. Once you start cutting into it and discovering more and more your pocketbook needs to be deeper and deeper and the timeline gets longer and longer. I would say this car you’re looking at based on the panels and the way it looks I would probably not spend any more than $500 on it. I bought a 65 dart GT for $700 that was complete. I was able to get it running after doing a few mechanical items. However, I’ve also sunk a ton of money into it related to the engine, rust work, interior work, transmission work. I am definitely willing to do metal repair but it is not fun. If there’s one thing I could change between the dart and the super bee I bought it would be to find a solid car. I would much rather find a completely solid rolling body and have to replace everything mechanical on it then to do any kind of rust work or structural repair. Just my two cents. I wish you the best of luck and which ever way you go you’ll have a great time working with your dad.
