What happened to the reasonably priced project car?
maybe in texas they are cheap but you sold it way too cheap for the north east thats for sure. 6 cyl hurts it some but it was a good year and good body would bring double easily here...
I agree But I also lived in Missouri for37 years . Things are cheaper there yet!!! Yo are in NJ and I am not!!! ha
I id finally sell off two mostly done cars this month. One to Fl and other to N Y. It is hard to find anyone that wants to pay shipping even to get a car well worth the $. I see what the average project looks like back East and I shake my head.
I have loved 68-9 Runners and Bees for decades but I can not swallow the price of a project car in those flavors now days. Back in the 90's I could buy a runner 68-9 for $1000-1500 back in Mo. I would do a nut and bolt resto, rebuild the engine, trans, Legendary interior, the while deal and advertise it in Hemmings, MCG and it would bring $7500 maybe 8500 tops. Yes I said back in the 90's! I made almost nothing. But I could take that same project, clean it up and tune it a little, run an ad and make $1000-1500 easy. Still that way with restoring one. But the $5000 project RR now days, is not worth that price you have to pay to own it!! If I paid that $5000 for said turd project today, and did a nut/bolt job on it , I still would not make a dime and would have to sell it for $25000-30,000 to get my $ back out. Yep it is a hobby! But I can not buy into having that many $ is such just for a toy and I just don't have such!
Rather work on my 64 post Savoy roller I got for $1200 or my 64 more door Belvedere runner I traded and got $500 in. Thanks to a FABO member for the heads up on the Savoy.
