Thoughts on this car for a project with my pops

Hey thanks a ton for the insight. It comes down to a fun thing to do with pops, so no matter what I am sure it will be successful. The one he got is going to be a ton of fun. 66 4 sp previously swapped to a 318. Now I want to find one too!

Tad those pictures are pretty neat, and I appreciate you taking the time to share.

And thanks Barbee for your two cents too.

Darn rust. Doing mechanical is way more fun as you both mentioned, but the allure of getting a body for cheap is of course tempting since it saves more money for the fun parts.

Is the fact that it is body/engine vin matching anything special?

I don’t think matching numbers really makes a difference on that car specifically. Even on my super B which is complete and numbers matching everywhere I’ve had people say, oh you have a basic Super bee. the word “rare“ I think really only matters these days if you have a complete original Daytona, some sort of one off coronet or charger hemi or something like that. Maybe a mod top barracuda. Unfortunately the fad of restoring classic cars has increase the prices. All of the shows we watch have also caused the market to increase.
