Pics below are my uncles mustang and the trans am I am looking at.. Hard to believe they drug those hunks of **** out of a field and got one ready for paint.. I can't wait until he decides to paint it because that means I get to drive it here ..
Hopefully my Lemans will be gone and I can go look at the trans am in person.
Cheapest i know is any air cooled vw.But the problem is selling it fast under 5 grand would be a lot of shotty work and using bondo to fiix it all.I couldn't do that but a lot of people do.I see a guy on ebay once a month with a mustang fastback that is a freshly painted shell makes me think hes trying to hide something or its a coupe with a fastback roof on it.Only way to make money flipping cars is forget anything old.Hit car auctions the ones from charities are nice people donate a car with a blown engine or tranny.So you get the car for under a grand a lot of times drop in a engine or tranny clean it up and you might make 1500 profit off it.if your not scared of body work you can get a wrecked car and fix it but if the title says salvaged your kinda screwed.My biggest cash cow is unmarked crown vics i get most for 2k or less clean it up and i make a grand profit easy and fast.My best one yet was a 87 monte carlo ss no engine they took the dog house off it 800 bucks put in a 305 for 200 shined it up got 3500 out of it.
My first fixer was a 94 Camaro. Got it from some guy for free and had transmission problems. Got some birthday money I had saved up and put in a new clutch, master, and slave.. Made $1000 off of it. Guy I sold it to pulled the engine and trans and is putting it in a Triumph TR4 or something.
But yeah, someone is hopefully coming tomorrow. God I want this thing gone so bad. I feel like that trans am is slipping through my fingers..
I just hope the person I sell it to doesn't cut it up, that is my only fear.
Good thing it isn't me cause i like cutting on cars! Hey i figure someone is going to and i have to get my chevelle ready for the wedding day! Oh who ever threw out Abody or chevelles are cheap to fix hahahaha tell that to my bilfold!!!!!!!!!!!You gotta pay to play in the game
The Fastbacks need too much work to be on the road. The $2500 I have could get them there, but I wouldn't have any money to do anything with them.. But I am the kinda person that thinks a car looks better in rusty lime green than fresh lime green. They also don't have titles. Not a big deal but it takes a while.
They are very solid cars, just some surface rust.. No holes in the floors or trunk.. Primer car is in amazing shape, quarters would need a small patch but that is cheap and easy since I could do that myself.
Where are these fastbacks located? I'll be in Houston this summer and I'm looking to build a 69/70 Boss 302.
They are located in Anderson Tx, north of Houston, but it is a nice drive. No traffic and 75 mph speed limits.
Still not sure if I want to let one go, but summer is still far away. Contact me then and we can maybe work something out
Also, if you are really serious, I am going to go pick up some engines at the local pick a part this summer. It is like $250 for an engine and transmission. Going to see if I can get a 351, but I will keep an eye out for some 302's.
Hey guys. I am picking up a 351W this weekend for $100. I am just wondering, what all I will need to get a car to the road? Let's say I am starting off from scratch. I am still not sure if I want to go through with the 69 'Stang just yet, but the engine is too good to pass up for $100. I can always haul one up here and do the bodywork myself, wont cost a penny besides a truck/trailer, so it couldn't hurt..
Here is what I can think of so far:
Tires
Headers
Battery
Fluids
Right tail light
Radiator
Hoses
Brakes
Lock and ignition set
Driveshaft---
Trans.---- Can probably get these two from a junkyard.. $150 max for both
Eh, anything else I might need judging by the looks of the green car?
I think the RH headlamp bucket and fender are in the the cars somewhere. Those two parts alot are not cheap!!
