67inline6

Hi, brand new here. Looking at a 67 to buy as a father son project. Any suggestions? I have looked at and walked on 2 rust buckets, each were listed for 2 grand. I am about to drive 8 hours to tow a solid car home on a tow dolly (I own a dolly but not a trailer). Any tips, watch out for's, or do's/do not's? Looking for an affordable project, but not a bank breaker. Hoping to have a 2 year project that is drivable in under a year and inspectable in under 2 with minimal cash and maximum wrench turning. Kiddo is only 13 but we need a father/son project. Planning to use a combination of other online project stories to step through the process in a somewhat logical process (something like metal work, brakes, steering, suspension, drivetrain, ...). Appreciate all input.

Car Background:
67 coupe, inline 6, not run in 8 years, stored indoors, power steering, no a/c, some body work started. Solid floors and frame (sight unseen), complete interior in decent shape (drive seat not torn up like many I have seen), flat tires, steel wheels, drove into the garage under her own power when last running.

Thank you!

Welcome to the forum, and good for you for wanting to start something with your son. I have a 14 yr old and know most kids now a days have no clue on how to turn a wrench.

Check out the Classics section in the Tech area of this forum. Those guy's will help with all the tips/tricks. Good luck

The biggest place to look is the cowling and the panels behind it. Like the 05-09's they love to hold water and can be time consuming and expensive to repair well if rusted out. Id take swiss cheese floors anyday to avoid the cowl issues much easier to get to the floor pans for repairs. Its not a deal killer if it is since its common but just a heads up either way it will be a fun project just not sure your level of bodywork skills so thought I would throw that out there.
