1967 Belvedere Convertible Project

[chrisd]

I'm putting this out to test the water. I don't want to let it go, but I'd rather have my Charger (see 67 Charger in Lost and Found threads http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/showthread.php?t=9794 ).
So, if a buyer comes foward, the car goes.
I bought the car to put it together and drive it. I did not intend to do a full resto before driving it rather replace/ repair the drivetrain and worry about the body/interior later.

The following parts are new:
Inner/outer tie rods and adjusting sleeves
Upper/lower ball joints
Upper control arm bushings
Idler arm
3/8 Fuel sending unit
Fuel Pump
I have the one piece 3/8 fuel line from tank to pump, but as of today it is not installed as I don't have the 3/8 clips.
Front and Back U-joints
Distributor and electronic ignition set up from YearOne.

The car was wrecked in the front end on the driver side. The fenders are from a '67 Charger but they are in bad shape themselves. There is no hood, and THE CHARGER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AND GRILL DO NOT GO WITH THE CAR.
It is a 318 car. The motor is a '67 318 (to the best of my knowledge) It came out of my '67 Charger.Two barrel carb. Carb needs work, but car will start.
Front end needs alignment and torsion bar bushings that I know of to finish the front suspension.
Asking $2000. Car is located outside Houston, Texas.
I'll get more pictures tommorrow when I get home.

Here are some more pictures. These are the worst spots. The frame rails are good as far as I can see except where the wreck happened. There is the usual rust on the floors and some in the trunk, and on the quarters. I do not have a title. The car hasn't been registered since 1990 so the state kicked the vin number out of the system. They told me I could apply for a bonded title, and it would stay under that heading for a year I believe.

Is that a Chargedere?

Around here there was IIRC, a 68 Coronet with 68 Charger front clip.

It was that light green, and other wise all stock.

Definately got lots of double/tripple takes.

 

[chrisd]

If it doesn't sell, that's the plan. I'd like
to have a Charger convertible.

Bump

 

[chrisd]

Put it on Ebay yesterday.

 

[Cranky]

Thought it would get more and higher bids....

 

[chrisd]

Yeah, me too. Have to say I'm shocked. I know it needs work, but $212? After I get the Charger going maybe I'll make the Chargerdere.

The market is skittish right now. I sold a fender from my 67 Coronet for 200. That's what the guy offered! It was rust free and 98% straight. Another bought a 727 for core for 150 and the front and rear glass for 100. He pulled it himself....but the parts selling has been slow going....and I still have the 66 post car. Seems no one is spending much anywhere.

I know what you mean. I had every intention of coming back and picking up parts from you myself then life happened. But then I found my Charger, so maybe when things settle down I'll see what you've got left by then.

I trust you had a reserve....

 

[chrisd]

I trust you had a reserve....

Oh yeah! I won't go without one on something that big. Little stuff, maybe.

 

[chrisd]

After some debate, One project is going to be more than enough for me. If anyone's interested, PM me an offer. I can get more pics if you want.

 

[chrisd]

Need to move the car. I have removed the Fuel sending unit, fuel line, distributor, and under hood wiring. A factory electronic distibutor is in the car. I had offered to sell without motor and trans for $1200. I'll leave it in for $1500.

 

[chrisd]

Ok, this might be the last time I mess with this car. Fuel tank has been sold. I had a professional bodyman look at the frame and he said it wasn't that bad. "See stuff like that all the time". I am really wanting to clean up my yard before it becomes a junkyard. I'm open to offers for cash, parts, etc. before I have it drug off. I hate to send it to the scapper. There are still alot of good parts and I still believe the car can come back but it's not something I'll ever get around to and I want my space back.

 

[chrisd]

One last bump?

 

[BLWN1]
