Wow, I figured for $8k this car must be a rotbox. With the right help and a friend with a welder and a few new parts (cowl, rear deck panel, a little flat sheetmetal), you could have what little rot is there patched in three weekends.
I hope you don't regret the sale later. If I didn't have three Challengers now, I'd be all over it.
Wanna trade for a driver 73 Chally with a 318? It's rust-free.
Yeah, but it's the right help and friend with a welder that's missing. And I'm tired of messing with it. I was laying in the car looking up at the firewall to put on the padding and had an epiphany, where I knew I was done. I don't think I'll regret the sale later - there will always be another one. As far as your offer, I'm game - if you want to drag your car out here to the West Coast and drag mine home.
if you get down to 6k , I will take it. No hassles and will come get it. In no.cal
I'll keep your offer in mind. I have over $8k in parts and machine work in it right now (see attached document), so I'd like to get back at least what I have in it. The only reason I'm offering it as cheap as I am is A.) It's in pieces, which makes it difficult to sell and B.) The market is down - not a lot of free money floating around right now.
I just posted it to CL last night. So far, just one call - a technician at JBA (Mustangs) with a turbo VW Bug that runs 11.30s but is set up as a street car. He claims to have $20k in his Bug, but offered me a straight up trade. I thought about it for a moment (I'm open to trades for cars other than Mopars, if it's a good deal), but I'd prefer some cash and don't want to have to sell anything I take in trade.
