Looking at picking up a 68

[mikes2nd]

I'm going to look at a 68 saturday, it sitting in an old guys barn who doesnt want to finish it.

Its a 68 and supposed to be cherry, he has been working on it over the last 10 years. Poly suspension in it, body dipped, 100% solid body(no dough), rechromed fenders all plastic perfect.

Its all there also, needs assembled and painted.

It also comes with a rebuilt 440 and tranny.

Now the guy wants 12k and thats all I know. Assuming the worst(non matched, non RT car).  Is 12k a reasonable amount?

I guess ill get a better idea saturday...  I know I am kinda of looking at this as an investment but Ill prob not have the heart to sell it once i get it together and perfect.

Btw i can paint my own cars so the paint job will only cost me 500$ in materials.

It sounds like a good deal but we (or I) cant really give a price untill we see some pics      

Oh and welcome to the site.     We are picture hores!!

yeah i know lots of pics here.  I have a Dodge Stealth and 3000gt so these 68 cars are a piece of cake to work on

Ill be sure to take lots of pics. Im just hoping its the original engine and an RT

heres my stealth


and my 3000gt

sounds interesting. if its what it's  said to be, and you can do the paint and such, that doesnt sound like to bad of a deal to me.    if you do end up getting it, it'll be very hard to part with.  best of luck to you,

If your going to pick up a 68, be forewarned, they are about 4K pounds or so, be sure to wear a hernia belt...
