Nice car to restore at the right price.....I can all but guarantee if that car was disassembled and blasted there would be a lot of rusted out areas. The convertible as many of you know has rain gutters inside the car below were the top sits. They drain into the lower quarters and out drain holes. The drain holes get plugged up the bottoms of quarters rust out as shown....Also the gutters rot out and the water lays everywhere.
By looking at the video that might be the case here
The trunk extension piece looks suspect as well.
If you noticed the convertible well molding, it looks badly rusted under the trim, thats another problem area
Whats under the windshield trim is anyones guess, another trouble area on a convertible.....The rear interior panels I could not get a good look at but hopefully they are not bad as they are super hard to locate and expensive.
Id like to see what the final bid on this car is

The car is a Road Runner convertible and a 4 speed car that is matching numbers, and it is a rare color combination too. There is a vendor who makes the rear interior panels. The car will be a cool ride once it is restored. They only built about 3000 Road Runner convertible cars in the two years that they were built.
That is just insane
Most of us know what it would take to get that car to driver quality
Body interior mechanicals
Makes me wonder what my car would sell for
It seems to me that junk sells for way too much cash. Not much point, unless you desperately like the work, to fix one up. Certainly you're better off financially to buy a "done" car. On the other hands, it's not necessarily easy to get what you want (that I know - I've been looking for the "perfect" (to me) '68 Charger with no luck to date).
