Agreed, that was and still is a great price Todd.

Thanks Frank.

Here's that other one you mentioned priced the same.

I was thinking $30K, but it makes sense what you're saying; healthy but not stupid prices.

That car is up near my parents, I'm pretty sure I know where it is. If anyone want's me to take a drive up to look, let me know. He usually has a bunch of muscle cars but typically prices them high from what I've seen of his inventory.

Both cars seem like good buys Skip. Just always have to worry about what kind of work is under the paint.

I figured you mentioned what's underneath the paint out of personal experience. :D

So I went and read the feature on your car.
What a story. :thumbsup:

Congrats on a beautiful car.

Yes exactly, and that also answers why someone would look at a Dynocorn body. (that would assume they actually fit together well... but they don't) A MCC body would be the place to start to save the full restoration 'fixing' money pit.

Yes, but buying a complete or completed car is always cheaper then a nut and bolt restoration. If the bodies are solid I would consider those cars for sure. Hard to tell from tiny pics online.

Thanks Skip on the compliments, it's a never ending project as most of these guys can attest. :yes:

I agree totally those are nice looking cars but if they are not fully restored now, they'd never really be 'finished'. They forgot step one.

Agreed.

And I see Dave's point also.

Another possibility is rather then someone chase around the country for a solid car, whoever the builder is (if there is one) they of course come across good cars from time to time from people they know.

It's nice to see prices returning to normal. The financial circumstances that have caused this price drop are unfortunate. I happen to have been hit pretty hard by the recession. I had to sell a 1983 Z28 Camaro this winter for a tiny amount of money in order to keep food on the table. Try looking locally for a car. If you really scour the want ads, you'll likely find some great deals. If you're anywhere near upstate NY, try www.wantaddigest.com patience will serve you well.

Thanks Pat for the advice and the link. You're right about patience. I checked out your link.
