Good for you ! Roger

...I wondered where our car went....

ahhhhhh,,, sorry for the delay !! but ..it will have to wait till daylight !

I spent the whole day at my parents farm cleaning up after we got a nasty storm !! 9 trees across their road, and not twigs !!! I have pics of the mess! I keep my parts cars at the farm ,, I lost a 74 Ventura 2 dr ( 16" spruce right down the middle !!!), the parts car for the 36 Chevy coupe I bought last year , and a 50 chevy 1/2 ton, but that is the worst !

I'll need to spend a full day with the bobcat and chainsaw to clean up the mess ....

Very lucky !!!! had the storm moved through 400 ft south ,, my parents most likely would not have a roof !!!!

all my good stuff inside is OK,, a 16" Popular feel length wise and scrubbed the back of the shed where I have my 63 Acadian hardtop and the 68 Beaumont SD....way too close !!



SOOOOOO....pics of my new ice cream car tomorrow !!

OK, I gave it a quick scrub after my Dad and I broke the law and drove it around the block insurance-less !!

honest comments,, the colour really screams 80's ..you Won't hurt my feelings !!!!

someone went through a lot of trouble, the interior was donated from a 64 Custom Sport Convertible. strong running 350 and T350. Very amateur attempt at a resto. Homemade 1/4's and rockers,  the pans have been fixed , the car is actually pretty solid and tight when you drive it. new dual exhaust , near new tires and 15 x 8 chrome reverse wheels... it just needs that week of fixing the little things .....

AS for the colour??  what should I do with it??  some have already suggested that I 'FLAT BLACK IT'    suggestions appreciated !!

they destroyed the back bumper pulling it out of the snow bank, when they were taking it in for the trade off to the guy I just bought it from !  He was going to part it out , but figured it was still too good a car.

I didn't need it , but was really craving a drop top,, and the price was right !!!!!

 

What do you all think the value of this car is it's current state should be?

now I'm regretting selling all the 64 stuff ove the last 2 years....but I'll hunt for more !  Luckily , the storm didn't get any of my 64 stuff at the farm.....

That looks like a very solid base to start.Colour-Flat black would look tuff with those "chromies", but your pick. Cool car, another saved from parts!

Well said Ray !! I bought for instant gratification, my 70 lemans convertible won't be done until next year . This car was under 3 grand , I couldn't resist !

thats a great car!! you should just drive it and have fun (i do agree on the flat black though..lol)

Man, there is a lot going on with that car! The more I look at it, the more I see! Is that a rear quarter antenna? It is also a "blue block" 350. I would paint it dark navy and call it "black & blue". I need a rear bumper also.

What I said above is not meant to be an insult, There was a lot done to the car using some good parts. It's cool.

THANK YOU MorePower !! well said.

my daughter has just started driving , she likes the car and the colour ! She is tickled that she can drive an old convertible ....

I'm not worried about fixing it up,, I bought it to drive !! I will fix the quick bolt on stuff like rear bumper etc.... I already have a frame off resto going on on my 70 Lemans vert ....and another year to go...

I like it   

If your daughter likes it 

let her drive it 

AS IS   

the memories she creates in it are worth the price of the car...

Skip the flat black. thats a little overdone. I know it hides bondo waves, but why not drive and enjoy it the way it looks? It's a convertible, it's July, enuff said!
