Default Never about restoring it.

In My Opinion . . . I would sell it as is for whatever you could get for it and call it a day. Projects like the one you are suggesting take lots of money and LOTS of time to complete. I would think you would want to at least break even on the money and frankly I just don't see how. You car needs so much because it has so little to start with.
Lee, I agree, and said the same to my buddy about the car. He bought it as a parts car, mainly for the 12-bolt, but wanted to know more about it being a 409 car than anything else. He was never going to restore it since he already has a project in the works, and the diff turned out to be a non posi, so he was just looking for more info about the car itself.

I suggested he run a thread here in case someone here had an interest in it, seeing as so many here are well versed in the more sought after cars and projects that MAY be worth investing the time and money into such a project.

Who knows, someone here may even have the 409 that came out of this...Ya never know.
