I never knew these even existed, and while I've never liked that body style, I have to admit the car's lines with the top down really look good.

reminds me of the mad mad mad world movie,
the son was driving a red vertible with red interior..which he crashes.

its a project for sure,wonder why *** monkey didnt put a hemi in it.
right set of wheels n tires would really make it stand out.
what did they do to the trunk area???
 
I didn't see the "completed/reconditioned" pics? looked to me like they sold it as is. Personally I wouldn't touch it....its ROUGH
 
It's not too rough for a vert. Firewall and cowl look good and thats normally the worst place for rot. Floors look doable for a convertable.
 
well you're more talented than me for sure. So did they redo this car? because the listing shows the original car and if AzzMonkey wont tackle it....something they are avoiding.

You didn't read,it still has 4 days to go being sold as is !!

Read the listing,it is being sold as is,the auction still has four days to go!!
 
They don't build every car that comes through; they buy and sell, like any other dealer.
 
A pass thru car, flipped for profit probably...

no harm, no foul

Thanks I DID read it. Understood it but where I went wayward was Beatrus statements lead me to believe it had been restored eg: wonder why *** monkey didnt put a hemi in it. (as if a different power plant was installed or one Beaters thought a hemi would be a better choice)
right set of wheels n tires (as if he saw a set they put on that were not a good choice) would really make it stand out.
what did they do to the trunk area??? *(as if it had been repaired after the damage)

So I thought I was missing some other thread or pictures. I simply misunderstood Beaters

sorry m8,i was referring to them doing up a 71 challenger prior w a late model hemi.
was a good episode,but not worth the effort,nor cost.
example,the challenger cost them 42k Before they took it apart.....
heres the episode recap.

i was kind of poking at *** monkey for not redoing the same formula here,
w the vertible.
that might< have turned out better than the challenger did.
that was my thinking :)

also,i call them *** monkey because he is an asshole.
aaron however is one sharp guy.
 
LOL Beaters. I agree on all points.

In fact the old man I bought my car from said..."there was some guy from restoration company said they had cash and a trailer and would be right over" me: "Do you remember who it was" ...him: "oh I don't remember but it was a funny name". me: " Was it Gas Monkey Garage" him: "yeah that was him" "they said you probably wouldn't never show up ...not many people would drive from Houston to Dallas" "I told them you had first shot at it"

Fast forward I paid for it on a Tuesday and we agreed I would come back on Saturday to pick it up. When I got there he said "I'm sure glad you bought it...they've been calling me trying to get me to give your money back and they would give me more money for it" "I told them I don't do business that way"
I thanked the old guy and drove off with this beast....glad I did!!! ....but it is a special treat that I beat them out of a deal.
 
beginning of the summer,i went to this fellas yard sale.
i know him sort of,weve done deals before.
so i pull up,and see a tow dolly in his yard,for sale.
go right to it see the price 200 bucks!! nofreakinway!!
rip the sign off,this is mine.
go talk to owner,let him know whats up.
call my buddy,ask him to bring me some money cause i cant leave to go to bank.
( i was riding one of my minibikes around town yardsaling )

while we r waiting,this guy pulls up in truck,doesnt get out,just stops dead in middle of road and starts asking about tow dolly.
owner says its sold.
guy asks how much,owner tells him 200 bucks guy goes nuts.
jumps out,starts bouncing everywheres,talking all sorts of trash and offering the owner more money for this dolly.

i look at the owner,say to him,well,its yours its your call,my guy isnt here with my money yet.
owner looks at me,looks at him,tells him,this guy Already bought it.
guy gets back in,starts driving away and then stops and starts waving hundreds at the owner...you Sure!!?? you Sure?? here it goes here goes your Money!

so,i hold up the sign,which ive been clutching the entire time,says 200 on it
and smile and wave and say BYE to him....

and then Thank the owner for being a man of his Word.

my guy pulls up about 5 mins later,and i was So happy to see him.
paid the owner,and hooked up and left w the dolly.
condition?
like New...easily a 600-1k dolly,the wide one too.
 
stupid people buy doodoo cars from idiot monkey garage ...the ones that are too far gone for them to fix... they pay waaaayy too much... just because its idiot monkey... this is not a deal..love the body style...but its junk i have a friend that has one with a nasty mean 440 for 8k....wouldnt touch that one on ebay ....
