$50 New Project
 

This will slow down my progress even more on the 1972. 1968 Cutlass. Everything is there except the hood hinges, motor/trans and the windshield. Drivers side fender will need to be replaced, though. For $50, I won't complain. Good deals are still happening guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 1987 I picked up a 71 Lemans for free that needed only a battery and some tires to bring back to life. It was in Michigan and of course had a SERIOUS case of fender/floor cancer.

While driving around town I found another one with a solid body and talked the owner into selling it for $50. Both had the big 350.

Man...those were the days.

Great score!

How much is a 1968 Olds 442 worth? Its all there but needs to be totally restored? Looks like a solid project you have for a great price.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT this one was nice and I don't exactly know what the guy wanted for it. It would make a good 442 clone. It would make an even better Hurst Olds clone since there was only 515 made. That's my direction as of today.

Nice find
 

You are right, there are still a few great deals out there, but I can never seem to find them!! :( Keep us updated

i have a similar "deal" but mine was free also.

went to look at some tri-5 chevy parts, noticed a super clean 79 blazer full size sittin there with no motor, trans, t-case. asked the guy about it, he said he wanted it gone, i joking told him i would take the tri-5 parts(rear window channels, factory a/c vents, backseat frame, lil "crap") if he threw in the blazer...and the guy said ok :D so for $100 of customer money i bought the customers parts, and drug home the blazer.

the blazer will be my new "driver/parts chaser", its goin together with a bunch of spare parts that were floating around. this was last week i drug it home, now its sportin 2wd suspension with an altitude adjustment, sittin on 20" wheels, had a TPI 350 sittin under the bench....threw some rings/bearings in it, freshened a T350 to go behind it. waiting on the stand alone TPI harness/computer to show up, then drop in the motor/trans. i think im into it about $900 so far(new tires for the 20" wheels, engine/trans freshening parts, new brake parts....etc) so take 1 free blazer, a bunch of good spare parts, and a couple weeks time, and you get a really cool "driver"

kewl deal t bell...........congrats

These are the deals a broke college student like myself needs. I want to see some pics of the blazer

yeah that blazer was a sweet deal. especially since somebody else paid for it.

hurst olds
 

that would be a cool clone

Nice score :wow: :eek: . I will give you $75 dollars for it right now ;) .

srh3trinity - I agree :yes: .

These are the kinds of deals you can't find scowering the classified adds or looking on the car websites because the car is worth less to the owner than placing the add. If anybody finds one and wants to pass on it in South Florida let me know (like that will happen, true car guys will always pick it up for later).

Sorry David, I think this ones a keeper. The extra $25 is tempting though. :rofl:

Oh yeah and I'm almost certain it's going to be a '68 Hurst/Olds PTing clone, especially since it's silver already.

Imagine this, the owner said the disc brakes are bigger than what came factory. And this was a big reason for him selling it. Whatever man, just hand me the keys.
