Default Re: Hemi project anyone?

A "parts car"!? I really don't think so. It looks to a number-matching Hemi, 4-speed, Dana car that looks very complete to me with all of it's hard-to-find-parts intact along with a relatively solid, rust-free body. I'm sorry but that looks to be a great restoration candidate and it would be a sin to part that car out.

I totally agree, but at anywere near the asking price it likely won't sell. My comments were directed at the poster stating they think it is a $35K car. At that price it will part for more.

This one has been listed for several months and I am told it can be bought for $70K. Service replacement block, but info back to original owner.

For the difference in price why would you spend the money and a year of your life restoring the subject car when you could be driving and having fun?

May not make sense financially, but some prefer wrenching more than they enjoy driving. I have a 68 RR hemi clone that's "done" but it normally sits in the garage while I'm turning wrenches on something else...
