Front end damage. Just about everything is original including the 307 cu.in. motor (roughly 130,000 miles) and the PowerGlide transmission which was rebuilt around 2006 (maybe 3,000 miles on it). Accident did not damage motor or transmission. The front fender needs to be replaced along with the wheel well, front bumper, grill, headlight bezel, etc. Basically all the front end parts on driver side. Also there is a gap between the passenger door and the fender which tells me that the frame is slightly bent. Probably could get away with straightening it or welding new frame horns onto the front end. The interior is all original but needs some touch ups here and there. For example it needs new carpet, arm rest on passenger side, passenger window keeps coming off track and some dashboard stuff needs attention like the air switches and the gear indicator. Very minor things that would cost a couple hundred bucks. Also back window needs to be resealed and weatherstripping needs to be put on the car. The front rim cracked and another scraped the curb but the tires are brand new. A lot of new parts such as SBCC disc brakes on front which cost $1,000, new Holley 2-barrel, HEI distributor, shocks, ball joints, bushings in lower and upper control arms. Thousands of dollars worth of stuff basically. I have lots of receipts and also have all the original paper work such as bill of sale and window sticker from 1968. I have invested about $18,000 plus into the car but after getting into an accident, I'm ready to cut my losses and move on. I don't feel like investing another $5,000-$6,000 into it. I'm trying to buy a house and I don't have the extra cash to put into the car. Otherwise I would fix it and keep the car forever. Just finished the car and was driving it for 6 months and then got into an accident. This car got so many looks and thumbs ups, its not funny. However the time has come to part with it and move on. I would like to get $3,400 for the car or I would consider trading for a 2000 (and up) 4-door Honda Accord or something close to that. Whoever gets this car and fixes the front end is gonna be one lucky person, because I had to invest so much money to have this car. Information Email: jconway1980@yahoo.com |
