Buy it and then call Jason Hale for the resto....

That rust won't scare him...and besides, he knows a little about L79's with A/C [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

depends on who is doing it and how far you want to go.

Agreed....But he did say restored correctly. Is that my eyes, your eyes or the community eyes.

I pm'd him... That isn't a question that should be posted here on someones for sale post. The car is cool I did a 67 chevelle and had a frame issue. Actually in that same spot but on the drivers side. It's a poor design and being from the north east just gives the car 1 strike against it IMHO.

As for being an L79 with AC that sure didn't help my 68 L79's nova value.

Yes depends how far u wanna take it ,I bet u could get it back to really nice driver/local car show quality for under 20k.Jason there are a lot of factors about this car vs your nova thou.#1 orig eng car #2 its a 67 l79 car ie: aluminum intake, holly carb etc #3 its a 67 chevelle #4 its a 4 spd #5 its black over black....just comparing apples to oranges against your nova....no offense...as for the frame issues they are a very week point on most all 64-67 cars espically north east cars...but they are plentiful if u search.

Scott, is there any paper work for this car? I specialize in these car's mostly 67 L78's and I think your 20k will fall short unless your not counting any labor. Paper work would really give the car a boost considering the condition.

**SS427** · #18 10-22-2014, 05:01 PM

No offense to Scott but $20k would not even cover bodywork, paint, sheetmetal and materials to do that work, "restored correctly". If you are talking about a collision shop type job and NONE of the pitting in the frame fixed than maybe.

**scott s** · #19 10-22-2014, 07:34 PM

All u guys are correct if its done to the 9 and u have to pay someone for everything I agree...I was talkin decent driver cond and someone who is handy enough to do some stuff themselves .Its just a nice real (silver intake) proj car that is all#s matching and a good color for under 15k ,I think we can all agree we haven't see that in a while!!!

Some buyers want a nice unique car that they can see as an original before they restore it.Some people cant afford a restored car. Its not always about totaling up the purchase price with resto cost and needing it to be equal to or lower than market price of the car done . If that were the case,every car needing resto that is worth under 150K restored would have to be free, or in most cases the seller would have to pay you to take his car for free......
