O.K., Buddy found a 34 5window coupe. Come with a Vette rearend (Will be selling when he gets it) '67 327ci (202 Heads) Powerslide tranny, And just about everything to put it together..... Opinions wanted.... How much is the rear end worth???
I never paid to much for anything I just had to have.Other people thought I did but Fuck Em I got it anyway.If thats what He really wants NO.Its a way cool body suiside doors makes it worth it to Me.--FEDER
Sorry I didn't read all of it. The vette rearend seems to bring around 750 and up around here depending on condition etc.
the body looks pretty good, youll have to get a decklid, not sure how much they go for or if there are repops out there (never owned one, too expensive). vette 327's are really good motors, they have forged rotating assemblies and high compression...correct me if iam wrong. but the prices they fetch iam not sure of (into big blocks)... i do know the 202 heads are worth a few hundred depending on condition. vette rears are worth some bread, but again iam not positive on value... consider this, i have seen a good 12 bolt posi for A-body chevys go for $5-600 , thats with drums. vettes have rear disks, figure an additional couple hundred to the total cost, and repop parts are plentiful for the rebuild. i think the glide speaks for itself, dime a dozen.. 6500... seems like a fair price, looks like you get a frame and the doors... better question is, is it worth 6500 to you?
'erm no in all honesty, but sanity isn't prevailing in these days of 'Rat Roddery'. The fact that this may be your last chance to score a steel Ford coupe maybe true. Worth it? Not a chance.

I would take it...But like Plan 9 said is it worth six-five to you.... Whatever decisicion you do make sure it is not something you will regret later.... ---Damn I shoulda bought it or what did I get my self into.
Can't tell if the dash or window garnish pieces are there, be a big + if they are... Title would also be a deciding factor to me. Concidering a GLASS body prolly cost that much, by the time ya pay for shipping, i'd go for it. Lanny
What color is the sky in your worlds????? That 5 window would fetch 8-10K so fast on Fordbarn that it would make your head spin! Steves auto sells decklid skins plain or louvered. He put them on Ebay all the time. I think my boss paid $350? for a louvered one.
I know that the car is worth the $$$, but I just wanted your opinions. The car is about 3 1/2 hours from here, on a trailer that should come with it. The best part is, my Grandparents are twenty minutes away.... Tell the wife we are going to go get the car, spend the night at the grandparents and kill two bird with one stone (and look like a hero 'cause we went to Grandma's!!) Car comes with all glass, 'Glass fenders (sell on eGay), Duece grill shell, Vette rearend (Buh-Bye!), Roof is all filled in, frame is reinforced (sp??).... I think it is a steel at $6500.... Thanks for all your input. OUT! Bravo
I saw that on ebay and thought to myself that it isnt a bad deal at all. That body is not bad and those 202 heads and vette rear are worth some money. The stock frame is worth some cash also. If you break it all down, that body ends up being like 4,000 dollars and that is a deal. Do it, dont think about it. In a few weekends that car could be on its own feet and then it wont look so "kit form". He wont loose a dime on that deal.

left a deposit, should be going to get it on Friday..... Hey, Can someone post some good pictures of '34's that are channeled but not chopped???
my car was so ugly at this stage with rolers and unchopped, I had to remind myself I was building what was going to turn out as a cool car. I dont mind sharing this shot because it displays how ugly they are channeled and not chopped. In my opinion, they need both. this is channeled 1 inch over the frame and like 3 1/2 total. Now thats ugly! It looks like Dumbo uses it to drive from gig to gig Once those cars get chopped they look fucking bad. Tell your friend he did good.
gots a Caddy that would be going into it.... (Have a flatty, but it is just junk. Sat in the junkyard WAAAAYYY too long!)
