I am new to the forum. I am looking for a project car for me and my teenage son. I have limited mechanical experience from working on cars with my Dad (brakes, starters, simple maintenance, etc.) but nothing too involved like engine rebuilds. I have my eye on a '68 Cuda notchback. It's down to floor boards now. My eye tells me it's fairly solid although rear quarters need to be replaced. Numbers match. 318 motor, runs ok, no mufflers. No title or prior reg - which will pose a problem in MA, but seller may be able to rectify. Tranny seems chunky to me, jumps into reverse - thinking probably rebuild. New radiator, distributor/ignition. Vinyl top has been removed - roof looks good but I might want to put new vinyl back. Many original parts come with (for instance Rally wheels). Trying to figure out what I should be looking to pay and advice if this is too much to take on. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
