Re: WOW! The Find of a Lifetime! 1963 SD 421 Tempest!
IF the guy that owns the front end and IF the guy that owns the transaxle will sell them to the new owner.I figure about 75K plus putting a correct 63 421 engine together.Wont be for the weak heart or wallet.Tiemann looked at it for me and thinks after being stripped it will need some metal pieces as there have been a lot of critters living in it for a long time.Tom

Re: WOW! The Find of a Lifetime! 1963 SD 421 Tempe
Guy who has the front clip wanted $60-70k when the car was thought to be lost forever. I'm guessing he'd want more now
 Transaxle was sold to current owner for around $15k. I bet it has gone up, too? Let's not talk about trying to get one of the Randy Williams repo radiators that can not be purchased I am told, so that means making another run? Big bucks. Tiemann seemed to think $125-$150k plus parts for the resto. The big kicker is 2+ years before he could start... The car needs to be saved, and it will, but it sure won't be cheap. I did the math and came up with about $400-500k, and about 4-5 years of a full time general contracting gig  This is all based on buying the shell for $125k, and it wouldn't shock me if it goes for more in the eBay red mist!Colin

Ever been on Woodward and seen both cars on dispaly on different lots? Cant really blame either guy, just doesnt seem like there ever going to work that one out?
