OK - I know this is going to be difficult without pics - but since the car is not mine, I don't feel as though I should post someone elses pics - I'm lookin at posibly buying the car.

1968 Fastback - Original I6/Auto.
- No motor or trans - rolling chassis.
- Original 7.25 rear
- Upgraded 5 Lug front
- No interior
- Typical rusted floors
- Rear frame rails look good
- Doors and fenders look to be repairable
- Bad quarters
- Best I can tell, he has about $800 of resto sheet metal (quarter skins, fr & rr valances, core support, front frame rail, inner fender, trunk floors, and bit more)

Car really looks like a basket - will need alot of $$ to get it back on the road, but its a starting point.

 

If you can get it under 5 grand id jump on it i seen worse ones then that sell for 8k people are nuts.

 

That's just it - I'M NOT NUTS!

He's asking $3800 - seems too high for an original I6 car.

8K - where is that - Cali? We're talking upstate NY here...

 

The price of fastbacks are insane. I'm one of the crazies that drove the price up. I had a 70 FB when I was younger so when I got my current project ONLY another 70 FB would do. I would up paying $4000 for mine. It did have an engine and sort of ran though. It also was complete except for a couple trim pieces. Lots of rust included at no extra cost. I basically replaced firewall forward, floor pans, rocker panels (inner and outer), trunk lid, trunk floors, rear frame splice, and quarter panels. Still to come are new door skins and front fenders. So, basically I paid $4k for the roof, glass and interior. Hope this helps

 

I am just glad that my fastback has been in our family as long as it has (circa 1988) because there is no way in hell I could get one today at these prices. "Honey, can I have 10K to buy a clapped out beater that needs a restoration?" Yeah. That'd happen.

 

Yeah - mine too - got 'cha by 8 years. Owned mine since 1980. Just looking for a possible new project, and have always liked the styling of the 2nd gens, especially the fastbacks.

 

i think i paid a decent amount for mine. considering its shape. what do you guys think their value is now a days. 20, 25, 30, 35 grand?
also with the dynacorn bodies being made, do you think thats going to bring down the value of 67 and 68 fastbacks bc now their will be more out there. or do you think it will drive the price of original fastbacks up. since owning an original will be harder to find. any thought?

 

Well I paid 19 for mine and I don't have to do a thing to it.

 

im looking at paying 5000-5500 for a 70 fb with no rust only rolling chasis and a couple body mods on it. Also fully caged. If its not super rusty i think 3800 sounds like a deal to me.

 

Here in kentucky and around here any fastback 65-70 is 8k and up dont matter what engine its got people are nuts.
