I found this basket case on craigslist and am thinking hard about picking it up this weekend. I know it's going to need a lot of body work but it looks fun to me. My first car was a 70 Roadrunner (383/4spd). I bought it with the help of my Dad at 15 by working at a snow cone booth all summer. I turned 16 and blew the radiator which toasted the engine. I didn't know what I was doing with the engine rebuild. I got frustrated and ended up selling it for $600 so I could get a car that drove. My Dad was always a bit pissed I sold the car. Now that I have a little $$ I figure I could make it up to him and start a new father/son project.

Guy is asking $4K and it comes with the grill, bumper, extra fender, dash with gauges, most of the trim and all glass except the front. It does not have engine/trans, seats and interior. He says the body needs qtr's but overall the frame and pillars are in great shape. My thought is to try to get the car for $2500. Am I crazy to think about a car needing so much work?
