The only way it worked for me is to do as much of the work as you can.  I had little experience starting out but learned alot thanks to folks on the forums and other resources on the net.  If you screw up a paint job (like I did) sand it down, learn from your mistakes and do it again.  Mine is now well on it's way to becoming a nice driver vs derelict project/parts car.  There's a lot of reward in bringing back an old car, money isn't necessarily one of them.  If you were to farm out the work you would totally loose your shirt on this one.

Agreed.  They could add or zero or take another one away and you still need to see it.

If you fart around long enough, somebody else will buy the car. :scratchchin:

Problem solved. :Twocents:

What is your fascination with moving dicks, anyway ?  :shruggy:

Bah !

Humbug !



The car will probably be long gone before you grow a pair and go look at it.

I'm off work for the next 12 days. :scratchchin:

Maybe I'll hook up the trailer and head east...  ;) :coolgleamA:

Anyways.

Thanks for everyone's input... I'm going to check it out this weekend.. they weren't available to show it til then due to work schedules.

Reed, I just made an offer on it.   Sorry but they took my offer.    :nana:  
Just kidding.    Seriously though, when you go to look at it be sure to ask them NOT to start it or warm it up before you get there.    :icon_smile_wink:  
You want to see it and hear it started cold.    I hate when people do that before I look at something.    This way you'll hear any ticks or see if it's smoking and whatnot.   Good luck.    :2thumbs:

Hi Reed,

Great idea asking Folks for input on buying a Mopar, but.............
All Joking aside, someone will reed this thread and go and buy it before you!
The World is full of Flippers and I like most have been beaten to the prize.

I found a real nice BigBlock Barracuda and I spoke to the owner several times.
After a while said he wanted to sell, but I didn't need another car at that time.
The following year I was in the market for a Mopar and he still had the Barracuda.
We negotiated a price over many months of haggling and guess what, a so called friend went and bought it behind my back!
Give him his due he still owns the car after ten years but its all about the principal.

Snooze and you lose and watch your friends closely lol.

Happy New Year and Happy Mopar hunting.

Oh yes and when you buy a car a better one will come along next month, THATS LIFE..... :2thumbs:
IF A JOB's WORTH DOING, ITS WORTH DOING WELL, RIP DAD.
4-SPEED, 1969 Charger-500 is the most Coolio car in the World!

So what was the result?   :popcrn:

I was gonna mention to at least take a refrigerator magnet along to check for bondo.

What you do is put the magnet on various places of the car where it's notorious for rusting.  If the magnet doesn't stay stuck on, there's bondo.  All cars have anywhere from the correct skim coats to sometimes buckets of mud.

So you're an admin on a boxing site?  I would think the testosterone levels alone could have their own forum.

There's got to be some tough dudes on the boxing forum he runs although they ain't got nothin' on Daytona R/T SE.  That dude's so bad he ran off a boxing forum administrator.

I need to remember this, tread softly in the Aero Section.   :lol:

Nobody ran me off.

I decided against the car.

Looking for something a bit more rare.
