68 coronet rt not mine

I will just address the visible rust issues on the shell....... 250 +/- honest labor hours piecing it together using new aftermarket metal, pick a price per hour, and add up the parts..... that does not include any cowl, hinge pillar, or front rail issues...........plus you need decent doors, fenders, ect

someone here can correct me if I am wrong; but if a 4 door uses the same rails and pans, I'd be on the lookout for a clean solid donor, and use the entire belly and rails as a unit ........ obviously a 2 door donor would work, but would cost more and the rebody nazis would be on high alert

So roughly $40,000 in labor, plus parts. Add the $15,000 for the car, plus $10-12 Grand for motor and trans rebuild. Looking at 100 large for a great resto?

That looks to have been parked in a yard for a while.

it adds up quickly....... clean donor sections can save a ton on parts and take a good chunk out of labor...... but the donor parts must be clean, straight, rust free, and not broken apart

The average person looking at that R/T would not have noticed that frame rot and possibly bitten off more than they can chew.

if the front is anything like the back, piecing it together is futile.......

 

[eldubb440]

If I had a rust free 4 door belly, I'd offer 7k for the car, if other things check out........ but as a keeper, not a money maker

Not many 68 B body Dodge deck lids in good shape left on this earth.

 

[eldubb440]

i went back and looked again, deck lid may be ok as it is not original to the car, i'd like to see the underside of the hood........ I actually like the car and it can be saved, just have to be smart about it to avoid a total monetary disaster

That's a late '67 air cleaner. It would be interesting to see the build date.

Lynch Rd oct 24........ same plant and day as my GTX..... hmmmmmm

 

[eldubb440]

Saw that too, Oct 24th SPD so kinda late to have that air cleaner... Still a pretty complete 68 R/T...

My GTX has the same date, same air cleaner

It is remarkably unmolested for a true muscle car. And it got a wicked amount of rust. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a one or two owner car.

it has more than a few good points...... but 15K is a killer

it's just a little lighter than it used to be........ go offer him 8K and load it up
