This board kills me sometimes. Does anyone know the difference between rot and sun burned paint? Honestly?
I think you better step up and buy that car before the line gets too long. Since it doesn't need any rust repair, all you have to do is put a cheap paint job on it and make yourself a fortune. What could be easier?
I don't think it would be that much because so much of the Chevelle cars are repoped. Its not that much to do a GS and its far less money to do a chevelle.
It's actually better than it being all closed up, sun dries it back out. Leaving it all shut up is the worst thing you can do. Like the GTO I posted, guarantee you there was stuff piled on top of it "protecting" it. Seen it many times, covering stuff up is more often than not worse as it just traps the moisture and just sweats
I dunno, a local shop did a 69 Camaro Z-28 that started in better shape and it ended up coming in at over $130,000, a buddy of mine is having an heirloom 69 GTO "done" and once they opened it all up, it's also coming in at over $120K and that's before paint. Sure, my point is that if you are a skilled bodyman, the car is do-able, but how much time would you have to put into this thing? And, if you factor even a minimum wage amount on those hours, you're looking at over $100,000 easily. And one thing about opened or glass-less cars; - are the floors not recessed like bowls on most cars made after 1958? Most of the open wrecks I've ever seen around here at least end up being Flintstone-mobiles after a decade or two. Water and carpet combine to keep things nice and crusty. And lastly; That car is a Chevelle, or a "Shovel", this is a Buick website. Is it worth arguing about it? Let someone go over and have a look at the thing and report back. We're all sitting idly speculating about a couple of bad photographs and our experiences which are all different. - Not worth getting worked up over.
