wanted: a project muscle car
Hey Guys,
I'm looking for something to tinker with. No restriction on year, make or model. GTOs, 442s (W30), Chevelles (SS), Camaros (SS)... etc. I plan on making it into a real day-2 car. Desired criteria is as follows... 1) manual tranny 2) paper (p-o-p or buildsheet at least) 3) NO rust, or VERY little rust 4) It must need some form of completing 5) No one from Ohio who is going to scam me out of another car https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif Lets talk! Thanks guys... I'm really excited for a new project. -Dan 914-715-4081 |

Re: wanted: a project muscle car
Just for consideration. It is a real project/basket case 1967 Buick GS 400 Convertible original California Black Plate Car. Very little/California rust. Buckets console automatic, power top and power steering. Original drive train.
I drove this car into a resto shop for a paint job a few years ago and long story/short I got back a shell on a frame. It needs everything done plus, deck lid, doors and front clip. A donor car would work well. Vin tells you what it is. Low production deserves to be restored. It is worth more apart, but I can't see parting this car out. It needs to be saved. $3,500.00 Bucket seat cores and rear seat good. Star Wars air cleaner a bit faded but not cracked. Top Frame Nice. Most stainless is usable or repairable. Bumpers are Show Chrome at $500 each. Very Nice body structure. Frame and Chassis components have no rust, were PORed Other misc parts were recovered as well. |

Dan
Do you have a ballpark price range you are at?? projects can run from $6K to 18K sometimes, depending.... Mike |
Re: wanted: a project muscle car
would like to spend $15k-$20k...
maybe a little less, maybe a little more... depends on the car. How about some Chevelles? Camaros? |
Re: wanted: a project muscle car
How about this:
I have been seriously thinking about selling my project 1970 Z28. It is a real (documented with build sheet) 1970 Z28 RS 4 speed car built (06C) in Van Nuys CA. This is a true factory 4 speed car as well as true factory RS car. The 350 engine, M-22 and 12 bolt have all been rebuilt. The engine block and M-22 are not V.I.N. matching. The core of the professionally rebuilt engine is the original forged (1182) crankshaft laid into a 1973 dated 3970010 4 bolt main 350 block. An extra (E 18 0) dated 3970010 4 bolt 350 block will be included with car. The oil pan and windage tray are all correct. All the correct deep groove pulleys are included. The engine was rebuilt with .030 over forged flat top pistons and a .475 inch lift hydraulic cam. The intake manifold is the original (2110). The heads are 1973 dated 492 (camel hump) castings with angled plugs, hard seats, 2.02/1.60 valves, moly pushrods, screw in studs with guide plates. The April 1969 dated M-22 (20 degree low helix cut gears) is a fresh rebuild with less than 1000 miles. The 12 bolt is rebuilt with zero miles. The interior of the Camaro is black deluxe with console. The complete interior except headliner is out of the car now. The complete drivetrain is also out of the car. The car is a roller... it has a temporary rear end in it now. The body has very little rust. The rust that I can see is at the base of the pillars behind the windshield on the dash panel and on the trunk floor well. The passenger fender has rust but I have a correct original fender that is included with the car. The floorboards and framerails are rust free. The original RS nose still has a nice fit. The original color is 51 51, Daytona Yellow with black stripes. The body is covered with dark gray primer now. I believe an original factory 1970 Yellow Rally Sport 4 speed Z28 with black deluxe interior is very rare. I really haven't begun yet to strip the car to the shell to have it media blasted to the metal. It was my plan to start this part of the restoration. I have an interest in another car, but I cannot make a move on it until I sell my 1970 Z28. No pics... yet. The price is $19,000 for my project. I am open to offers. Local and non local folks are welcome to come see the car. Tony |

Re: wanted: a project muscle car
Don, thanks for the offer but something tells me its much steeper than the money I'm willing to pay...
Let me know... but lets be realistic... |
Re: wanted: a project muscle car
How about a Gremlin? Lime Green with Burgundy interior. Non original engine, tranny, but, original 2.01 rear end. Automatic with AM radio. A real sleeper. Not cheap, but, worth the money and effort. Forgot to mention, all the body panels will need to be replaced. How's that for a project? For the serious restorer, no tire kicking, please.
Regards, Mark |
Re: wanted: a project muscle car
Hello Dan,
I'm not much of a regular here but noticed you haven't found the magic "one' yet.... First, I have a question to further my education (and please forgive my ignorance): What the heck is a "Day Two" car???? One of my project cars might be of interest to you, but it's not a 4 speed and might be a bit higher in cost than you want due to what I've spent on it, so maybe it won't be the "one", but you get to decide. I have an Artesian Turquoise (similar to Mossport Green, don't you think?) 1966 El Camino, 396/325, P/S, P/B, P/G, 12 bolt, dual exhaust, tilt, gauges, knee-knocker, GM dash mounted clock, Ca emissions, POP, Ca black plate, 2 owner car that I bought about 1991. It had 66K California rust-free miles before I disassembled it this year. It also had virtually every "Born With" part down to the blown-out factory rear air shocks, except for the wheels which are old vintage 14 X 7 Torque Thrusts, possibly installed by the dealer when new. The previous owner never drove it on the freeway and never changed a single part (duct tape worked well on the upper radiator hose). He wasn't trying to preserve the car, just a real "thrifty' guy....... Body is currently off the frame on a dolly and just completed a high quality paint job from bare metal (to original color of course) about a month ago. Factory interior was Fawn but my intent was to go to black (not too late to change back if desired). Engine has been completely machined and rebuilt and is currently getting final assembly. Haven't disassembled the suspension or brakes from the rust-free frame yet. I didn't really have any intent of selling it but several other project cars of mine were finished at various paint shops at the same time ('66 427/425 roadster, Hemi Cuda, '73 RS/LT/Z28) and the El Camino is bound to be in the back of the line for a while.......... Enough of my jabber..... email me if you have any interest and we can go from there. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and best of luck in your venture. Charles (aka: hubleyman) |
Re: wanted: a project muscle car
Charles: Thanks for the offer but I need a 4spd.

Dan,
I'm considering selling my 1969 SS396 L78 Chevelle. Car has numbers matching - (factory born with) engine, trans and rear. Missing the correct carb, distributor and water pump. I have the POP and 2 partial buildsheets. Also have owner information to verify history of the car (from Maine originally). Car has newly installed GM NOS, fenders & quarters. Also has new inner and outer wheelhouses. I have a good GM pass door for the car also. All metal installation is complete. The interior is all there, but out of car and needs replacing. Not sure on the price/value, but will be a very nice car when finished. Attached is a picture, pre-metal work. Blair |
Re: wanted: a project muscle car
If Dan is not interested send me your contact info along with a price.
