I did it, I bought my first classic car. Im doing this blind folded. 66 coupe, 289 runs great, new m/t 3 spd, Shelby hood(needs to be put on), 351 windsor block(needs rebuilt) 9 inch rear end(needs to be put in), couple of rust areas nothing major, original paint should be easy to get off. 5500, do you guys think I got ripped off.

 

I would need to see the body and stuff but if you want a good paint job add like 1500 (what i paid and im happy with it). Seems like a decent deal though, have fun!!! :]

 

Lemme make sure I get this right. You bought a '66 with a 289 and 3 speed.

You also received a Shelby hood, the 351w block, and 9" rear.

All this was 5500.

You did okay, especially starting with a V8 car. How complete is the 351w, anyway?

And....[sm=ttiwwp.gif]

 

not too shabby

i dont regret a thing

great for picking up chicks or having an ice breaker

 

Agreed

 

1500 where did u get ur car painted the shop i work at is 3800 minium for an all over with no body work needed

 

hmm it was my dads friends son. that might have had somethin to do with it and that was with no body work needed. 3800 sounds steep though :/

 

I dont know anything about cars, I sorta threw myself into this blind folded. The guy told me it is just the 351 block, so that sounds like it needs alot of work. O I have a ton of pics but I lost the cable to transfer from camera to comp.
