Well Randy I'll throw a little opinion out there. It is obvious the car needs so much work and the only value it has is if someone loves the car and can do all the work himself. To farm it out would be a fortune and I'm thinking you can get a pretty nice 2 door custom for 20 to 25 grand. You have to do absolutely everything on that car including powertrain and believe me it doesn't happen in hundred dollar bills. I hate to say it but it is almost at the parts car level unless you find you were conceived in the back seat of this car or you have a nice size bag of money waiting to be spent. If they are asking 7 for it and are anxious to sell you may well get it for 5 and there would be lots of parts to cover that I think. I bought a 66 4 door hardtop that was pretty solid but had been hit and I probably got close to $1500 of parts out of it. The 66s have a lot of unique parts.

have to say it too, its a parts car but I would pick it up for the $700 or less for sure

 Yep.

I would think the reverse lights might be toasted on this car, but you never know! There is a big demand for '66 reverse lights in good condition.

For $500.00, I'd go for it as long as you have an inexpensive way to get it home, and then transport the remaining carcass (after you tear all the good stuff off it) to the scrappers.

I don't think I've ever seen a car that "straight" and that far gone. (Other than the time capsule Oklahoma car that Boyd C was involved with).
Yes, lots of unique unreproduced parts. Signal lights, reverse lights, rear bumper, tail panel, rocker chrome, hood spear, radio, horn button, grille, wheel covers, Beaumont badging. Well over $700 I'm sure. (I wonder how "untouched" that engine bay is? Might be a good library picture...)

If it was close to my house i would get it immmediatly,  i would not be able to get the cash out of my pocket fast enough!  just my opinion.

 Add to the list of unreproduced....the Custom only model upper beltline trim.  If someone picks this up I would be interested....The door panels and dash pad look good too! An interesting observation about the engine compartment is the lack of rad support to rad spacer and the pre "66 non crossflow radiator....

 

interior looks fine from what i can see the seats and door panels shure look nice you easely have 700 in parts there you need a frame that s for shure but a lot of work on the table with that one
