Looks like a frame off restoration.

pretty nice.
If I had a spare 45K though I'd buy a black '08 Bullitt to modify

 

Yum......

That car is beautiful.

 

For that kind of money, I'd expect a completed car !!!

 

I was under the impression the work is still in progress and the sale price would be for a finished product.

 

Sounds like they need the money from the sale to finish it then...

 

I would not assume that at all.....The impression I got was that it is as pictured and not finished.


The big red flag to me is WHY paint the car and then go back and fill the letter holes in the trunk and mirror holes?!? ....and it looks like the trunk was just filled with filler and not properly welded up...otherwise it would be one consistent smear of filler to be sanded off and not dabs. Otherwise looks like a decent base.

 

The big red flag unfortunately is its age, showcased by the abundant chassis welding presenting a probable problem for alignment. Mine went through the same ordeal and was scary at speeds above 80 MPH.

It would not be bad as a trophy.

 

It's a temptation but I know better.

It is sad to see him blaming the economy instead of his own poor planning.
He was trying to build a dream before he could afford it.
$45K would be a tad high even if it was finished,since it is so far from original.

 

poor guy, i would rather buy a dynacorn body and have a real fresh start

hes nutty if he thinks itll sell for 45k

 

i would give him 7500 for what hes got there..... well maybe 9-10 since the engine is included

 

Has anyone here even seen what these cars in ROUGH...and I mean ROUGH condition are bringing on Ebay lately?!? I've seen basket cases going for $8K and more....

Check this one out....I don't think it's worth $22K but apparently a few people do and this isn't isolated:

It really is getting outta hand. I really should have kept my 1965. I'll never find one in as great as condition for the money.

 

Not a rust-bucket!!LOL Have you heard that before, Paul? Now, if it was still the early 90's, then yea, the prices wouldn't be so bad. Nowadays, if you have a rare stang, or even a good firewall and vin tag for a rare stang, you can get a good price!!

 

Which is why they're fetching their prices. Take confidence that you helped contribute to the high prices of these old cars!




Something tells that I don't think the '91 Escort GT I had as a kid will be in this kind of demand....

 

man this hobby is getting expensive

 

Those who are shedding big bucks are usually guided by dreams and act on instinct but after having one for a while realty kicks in.

Classics are like boats. The happiest days are when they are bought and when they are sold.

 

Double post. This board is doing weird things.

 

Absolutely true. Classics are an emotional purchase, then reality comes a knockin'.
