Better investment, but what's the asking price ?

If you currently "can't afford" a finished car like suggested in your last post.....you should bring these pictures to a couple of local body shops and get them to give you an idea of what it will cost for a decent paint job....

I don't know about your area, but around here it could cost close to $10K just to paint it......

That's why you see so many primered projects :smilielol:

The 360 was the big engine option in 1974, replacing the 340 that was the big engine of 1973.  It was rarer than the other engine option (the 318) but it really isn't that rare to find one.

I think 10K sounds like an awful lot for a 1974 project car. I wouldn't expect to pay more than 7-8K and that's assuming it is perfect and only needs a decent paint job.  Just my  :2cents:
