If only I had the time... (or an extra $50K lying around )

I'd suspect that the VIN # is worth about 90% of the cars value at this point.
It needs "everything". Last time I checked I think the trunk lid was good.
It's a V8 with a power top and an auto on the floor with a console. Unfortunately it's a 318 2BBL.
If it was a big block car I would have taken on the project by now.

I saw one go across the block - a 318 car redone and they put a Viper V10 mill in it.
I think it brought $65K. Seems like a lot of work for not much upside.

I think at this point I'll hang on to it. When Dodge comes out with the Challenger in 2007 I'll plunk down $40K on that and I'll have a car that'll push 425hp and will start whenever I want it to.
