Re: Anyone need a project?
 

I would love to have a Hugger '69. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Anyone need a project?
 

Hugger Orange RS Z with black insides, top and stripes. Can't get much sweether than that. Too bad it's in such rough shape.

Re: Anyone need a project?
 

Yep it's needs the full monty..but it's an early car with all the important goodies,highly optioned,pretty much all the hard parts with docs..

Probably fetch 20k +,figure 40k to git er done..what's a way early short spoiler hugger houndstooth RS with #"S and strong paper worth in todays climate? no way you would be upside down when done and that's one cool ride!

I'm not sure where you buy your parts or have your restoration work done, but please send me the information. A top restoration (parts/labor/materials) will run LOTS, LOTS more than $40K. This is a trap that a lot of people fall into. Cool car, but unless you have the time and talent to do all or most of your own work, you will be upside down real quick. I think anyone on this board who has had a car in this condition restored will agree. For a common muscle car like a 69 Z/28 you are always ahead financially if you buy a finished car, provided of course you can come up with the upfront $$'s. Of course a lot of the fun of this hobby is the journey and not about the $$'s, but it is hard to ignore the financial implications especially if you are married and want to stay that way. Will make a good project for someone and a cool car once finished.

Re: Anyone need a project?
 

I'd say $80K to restore, plus the cost of the car, would be a more accurate estimation.

Re: Anyone need a project?
 

Agreed,but there's lots of profit in that 80k for someone writing a check for a "top shelf" restoration- I posted it more for the folks here that do there own cars and might find it neat car to save.The guy does have quite lot of parts already plus the original window sticker& POP but I think the block is a re stamp-

Why do you think it is a restamp?

The seller does not give you a close-up picture of the stamping but as blind as I am I can even see they are not correct. Did you see the size of those numbers?!!! I would want a better picture but I bet that it is a restamp...........RatPack................

Re: Anyone need a project?
 

Here is the POP, looks like its for a nova...I think we saw this POP before for a different car..

Re: Anyone need a project?
 

Nova's vin's are 11427.....

Re: Anyone need a project?
 

What is the vin on the POP? W code, and the engine is flint, Where did we see this POP before, really familiar...hum https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Anyone need a project?
 

This pop is not from a Nova, look at the picture when I inverted it. The vin is very clear 124379N5273** with the last couple of digits not legible due to the rust. What does the engine being built in Flint have to do with it not being a Camaro? The engine in the picture is a Flint engine anyways so that would be correct according to this POP..........RatPack.........

Re: Anyone need a project?
 

From the auction:

PLEASE NOTE: THE ENGINE WHEN REBUILT HAD BEEN DECKED AND NUMBERS HAD BEEN RESTAMPED WITH THE ORIGINAL NUMBERS THAT WERE THERE.

Never heard that excuse before https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

I guess it's good that he has the (what appears to be) original POP to verify.

With the "restamping" of the engine, I wonder what else is "original" to the car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Anyone need a project?
 

Wow! $30,000+ for the Hugger RS Z28 that needs a complete resto.Someone is a stepper.I love Hugger Orange but that was a little much for me. Another $100,000+ car in a year or so. Good Luck https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

Yikes https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif that's what all original DRIVING cars were getting two years ago- 30k for a restamped block and a firewall with parts?
