cheaper the better
I have no issue with the colors
but I like green too, many people don't
looks like a decent car to do a project
especially if it's for you
not for resale or parting it out
shipping will be a huge deterrent for costs too
unless you have a huge local market, with $$$
& willing to spend it for used 50 y/o parts
like above said it can be a an expensive proposition
for a 1st time newbie/or novice
I'd say to almost anyone that'd listen, don't be stubborn
or cheap, it will cost you big-time later down the road
Just save a little more $$$ & buy better,
something that requires far less work needed to begin with
you'll be $$$ ahead in the long run
it's best to buy something that runs & drives already
that's complete, little body work needed etc.
make it yours & do some work on it while you can still enjoy it
if you're buying it to keep, learn & have some fun
go for it
if you think you're gonna' flip it & make some cash,
I say don't do it
---------------------------------------------------
to give you an example
I bought my latest 68 RR, Calif car it's whole life
owned by a carpenter, it was rough body wise,
but very little rust repairs, running & driving complete for $6,000 USD
he was asking $7,000, back in Dec. 2005,
I'd estimate/say the same car here would cost probably $10,000,
in the exact same condition today
it was only a little better than the car I see in your photos
it was a more desirable color LL1 Surf Metallic Turquoise
& Black Decore Interior, but just a 383cid, tf727 8-3/4 rear,
all #'s matching
(
not that I care if it was #'s matching, it will bring more if I ever choose to sell)
that car (your photos) with a 440, is a bit more desirable engine
the GTX is a bit up the food chain too
finished could bring better $$$, but not by much
this is my 13th RR, 1 of 40+ B-body MoPars I've built & owned
I do all my own work & I have about $20k in it,
IMO it's still
not done
well, but it's been driven & enjoyed the whole time,
so I get my $$$'s worth
but it's not really done
this hobby isn't for the faint of heart
If you do get the car
I'd highly suggest you get a year specific Factory service manual 1st thing
good luck what ever you decide
