Ice..save your money and wait for something that need less work specialy on body work, if it has so much rust that you can see, normally you will find much more when you start working on the car..but the time you finish you will have countless hours and money invested..more likely you can buy another coupe in driving condition and for less money that you will be investing in this one , I been there.. but this only my opinion..good luck on your decision

dont buy that car it would take for ever do finish that car it needs cancer surgery! look on ebay it would be well worth the money paying an extra 1500.00$ for a solid car since ur gonna have to spend about 1000.00 on sheetmetal plus ur labor for installin it and its wrecked who knows what is underneath the quarters bent frame etc!

looks like a $250.00 parts car to me and that might be too much. I wouldn't want that piece of junk cluttering up the yard, caus i just dont see much of anything there usable

I love the idea of saving a pony from the scrapyard, however, I wouldn't be able to justify spending any amount of money on this one. It sounds like your concentrating on what need to be fixed body-wise, but I think if you bought and restored this car, the body panels would end up being one of the cheaper items you fixed. Your gonna need to rebuild that motor, get new wheels/tires, and everything for the interior. Not to mention the transmission, rearend, shocks, brakes, etc.

MY EYES MY EYES!!! [8D] THAT would be one hell of a project. I personally think it would be waaaay too expensive to get that thing into driving condition let alone into GOOD condition. Sorry man I vote pass on this one (even though I dont think we were voting hehe)

Alright, I decided NOT to get the 68, if you guys thought the body was bad....you should have seen what the under neath of the car looked like, all I can say is WOW, unfortunatly I don't have any pics, but it was BRUTAL.
