Anything can be restored. Just do what the Hemi guys do. Buy a rust free 6cyl car, drill out all the spot welds and weld it all back together around the old vin tag.

 

[inkjunkie]

Sometimes the amount and locations of the rust is incredible. My old neighbor retrieved his first car, it was a Cutlass, from a garage in Michigan that had a dirt floor. It was very near a body of water, was stored since 86 or so. One door skin was completely gone. The front bumper had rotted to the point that it fell off in transit. When we got the car unloaded one of the lower control arms gave out. He showed me pictures of it the day he parked it, had absolutely no rust....

 

[SGBARRACUDA]

Yup, it looks like that one is to far gone.

 

[abodyjoe]

[QuintinMotorCompany]

[moparmat2000]

Wow thats a shame. But its giving its life so others may live. How bad is the antenna mast, cable, and pieces to hold it into the fender. Will these parts fit a 67 barracuda. PM me

Now why can't the little old ladies of the world have more of these tucked away in the garage, instead of the green and brown slant 6 cars you usually find?

I swear they are all white, tan or brown with any one combo of that color of vinyl top and interior....and someone cut speaker holes in the door panels.

 

[QuintinMotorCompany]

My 1974 I found is a slant and used to have speaker holes and gold with blue int. LOL
