    I guess the mopar guys could do that deal, I think I'd have to just restore the picture and leave the rubble.

    A guy in a junkyard did that for me once. I snapped a rear axle shackle on a pontiac. so he brought out a similar vintage with a fork lift lifted it up on its side and said "now which part do you want?" Luckily I didn't want the p***enger side door too!

    Keep an eye on the auction. At the end you will KNOW what it's really worth.

    Looks like the car was wasted by a bad wreck before it got to that field......one thing though....how does the seller or bidder for that matter know they are the same car from the pics?? Not enough to tell.......

    What are the crushers paying per ton now? That thing might be worth a cup of coffee.

    Ok ok, well, maybe some instant coffee.

    By the time you replace all the panels with all the rust and cancer, and got new panles for the ones to far gone or just missing, it would be a replica by then. What a waste.

    Yeah the history of the VIN tag is what is for sale here. Unfortunately, every prospective buyer will find out that that is the only "original" thing about this race car and I still don't think it would be worth any money to speak of. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think so.

    That defines the term "ambitious restoration". Think I'd color it gone!

    I can't believe the guy selling it actually think's it's worth something, regardless of it's history..
    One can look at that and plainly see there isn't anything left of it.
    ****'s, but it's nothing more than s**** from what i can see.

    :D

    Get it, and leave it as-is, it's a piece of drag racing history. At least it's still in existence. :eek: Might make a neat coffee table.
     
  25. Wouldn't that be "Rust in Peace"?

    Not a whole lot there and what is there is bent, mangled or rusted. Might be fun ofr someone with a whole lot of time and money on their hands. But you''d still have what was left of an old car with a bunch of other stuff bolted to it.

    maybe I should be all over it?

    Even the "Funny Car Graveyard" Up in the Northwest wouldn't want that one. And that's a place that made me sad...:cool:
