Nice little project there. I wish i could find me one like that. I think i want red next.

What are the details? Miles? where did you get it? price?

 

[Stinger99]

Trying to get the pics to show now, should take a few mins....

Kbillin, what would you pay for what you have seen in the pics?

I gave his asking price.

 

[kbillan]

Oh- i dont know.

From the pics-- 5500-6500 max. Second ones// looks a lot better.. but there are some pretty clean cars out there around 8k..But im Guessing miles are well over 100.. and the rust.. leaky wind sheild.. I dont know-- I dont want to cut up your car or anything. Im salivating looking at it..

I looked at a black one in about the same shape with NO rust.. and all matching numbers. but at that time, i really wanted teal... and i wanted CLEAN.. That car was 6k.. I have teal/clean.. now i want red/project LOL. Is that the recent ebay car from NJ?

 

[Stinger99]

I paid $1,500 for the car......:rockon:

Got it in Connecticut

 

[Stinger99]

Those pics were after a rain storm we had here, I have not had a chance to wax it yet.

I got it from the original owner, he is 68 years old.

The car aint in best of shape, but I think it is clean for what i paid for it.

 

[kbillan]

wow-- thats a find.

let me know if you want to make a quick sale. Like i said, i want a red project..

[Stinger99]

Sounds temting but, I have been looking for one for so long and could not come up with the money for a extra clean one.

Im gonna try to hold on to this one for a very long time, but if somthing comes up and I have to sell...I will let you know.

 

[kbillan]

yep- not really in the position to buy at the moment anyway-- JUST got my car last month.

But-- like i said, if you want to make a quick buck.. im here

That looks like a NH inspection sticker, how long was it off the road? That sticker looks like it might be 2004 or so.

Another Barn Find

 

[buddha93]

The cars definitely got some major issues, but for a black cloth car, and $1500 to boot, very nice find.

 

[98 svt]

You only paid $1500???

 

[Gecko86]

That's the car from Craigslist right? Am asking because ,I emailed the guy like 10 times and he never responded. Tell us how the deal went down just curious you know.

The Car has not been driven for about a year.

The Car does have some rust problems, but they mostly look contained.
The rear quater panel HAS to be cut and replaced and the hatch just replaced. and the leakey windshield
Other then the paint it drives perfect, the air needs charging and the interior is about a 7 maybe 8 out of 10.

Yes only $1,500 I think i lucked out.

There was a cobra on craiglist?
My wifes friend told my wife about the car.
It is the friends uncle's car, drove to see it, looked at it, made a deal and shook the guys hand.

As far as criaglist goes, I never look on that thing, I know 2-3 guys in my area that search that thing day and night, and flagg it when they see somthing they want.

 

[buddha93]

Ya, not knocking the car at all. You made out just fine for the price. You might as well paint the whole car while your doing the body work.

 

[Stinger99]

buddha93

No, I totally understand what your saying, For a cobra i guess your are right, they are major issuse.

The whole car will be repainted once all the body work is completed.

fast Q thou, once the car is done and repainted, that does hurt the value of the car right?

 

[RydeOn]

hurt the value? theres only value to be gained, not lost

have fun with the project stinger!!

 

[kbillan]

mehh-- just save your efforts and sell it to me

make a quick buck.. Depending on the undercarriage... i wouldnt mind seeing pics of that
