i think she's a bit rough. you be the "judge"

It's probably all surface but yeah i'd still buy it if it were cheaper. Looks like it was in a barn for years so it means it was out of the elements....
 
I could see lots of people taking on that project if it was a 69 trans am, or a 69 Ram air IV judge or somthing, but not for a 67 automatic gto!... it does look mostly like surface rust, i've seen way worse, but for 1,500 big ones I better get somthing better than that!!!!!!!!
 
For that kind of money I would want the original cluster at least. I wouldn't mind a project like that, but the automatic would go out the window.

A dollar is a "big one"?

I wouldn't bid on it in that condition with out looking at it in person, but seeing what people will start with in the rust belt I'd say its a reasonable project.
 
A will buy it as long as I know the guys from Overhaulin' are on their way over.

I gave my wife specific instructions that if she was ever approached by a show like that (wanting to do my truck or whatever) to very clearly give them two words: "fiberglass body."
 
you would think that he would at least remove the hay off the roof and trunk of the car before taking pictures

:haha: maybe it's like fast food restaurants. nobody has a "small" anymore.


2 friends and i rebuilt/resored an old camaro and it was enough to keep us out of trouble for decent chunk of a summer. since most of it was intact and semi-functional, it just needed holes patched (owner did that) a full engine rebuild (me), and a tranny rebuild. then we rewired the whole car and stuck it back together. i've seen restos like that gto where you have to remove the family of rats from the dash, hose the mud and feces out, remove rust-seized pistons from the engine, and repair/reshape most of the body. i'm a carguy, but that's a whole different level :screwy:
 
A few years back I was helping a neighbor disassemble his "new car" which was a 69 dodge coronet to get it ready to be sent off to be restored. Long story short he was 14 at the time, and his dad owns a titty bar. So here I was helping him take the drive shaft and rearend out of the car, or atleast breaking all of the 30+ yr old bolts loose. Needless to say when I started to crank down and loosen the driveshaft ubolts, my bracing hand went up through the floor and nearly through the backseat.

That could be as bad as sitting outside in some cases.

EDIT.After looking at the pics again,thats not hay on the car it's pine needles from the tree it's been parked under(for a long time).

That car is probably 5 miles from me...Woodstock is the next town over.

That "hay" is just what 1-tonmudder said it is: Pine needles.

I moved to GA 5.5 yrs ago, and I couldn't figure out for the life of me why people were selling pine "straw" on the side of the road. Then I realized it was for mulch.

Where I'm from, having pine needles in your yard that badly just means you need to rake...and people pay money for it?? :confused: :screwy:

Hell, I'd almost pay someone to come "harvest" all of that chit I have in my yard.
 
I've seen worse.



Reminds me of a story I read in a magazine a while back. Some guy was a MAJOR MOPAR fanatic and wanted some rare Ramcharger (the early 60's Hemi car, not the truck) variant and wouldn't settle for anything but the original. Apparently he had the bank account for it so the shop finally locates one just like he wants...sitting in the muck behind a barn in Wisconsin so deep there were weeds growing through the floorboards and soil on the floorboards.
Shop restored it completely but it cost 100G + and the owner of the shop, who was telling the story, kept saying he could have converted a regular model to the same thing three times for what the owner paid.

If it's the real thing and someone has the fever, and money, they'll restore it. Muscle value has gone up so much people get a bit of tunnel vision.

well that was one of the convincing reasons of mine to spend my free time to help out such a little jerkoff of a kid. I figured his dad was a really nice guy, so why not help out a little since his dad worked 24/7.
