Is it worth it???

The A pillars alone we be huge concern,, doubt there is any skeletal structure left on that one at the drip rails either.
Like others have said may be a donor at best and personally wouldn't give a $1000 even if it was complete...

Brother, that one is a lot of time, money, and trouble. Spend a little more and get one in better shape. You will be much better off. I am not saying it can't be done; just that sometimes, you have to pull the plug.

Do you have any before/after pics of the rear window corner repairs? I can't figure out how the inner and outer corner pieces go.

Let me look. These are the only pics I could find. If you send me a pic of the 2-3 pieces I can talk you through it.

This falls under one of my Indisputable Facts of Life. "Where there's rust... there's more."

Another of my Indisputable Facts of Life: " Objects get heavier as you get older". This one is a law of physics. And you can test it's validity anytime. Pick up that transmission, it was alot lighter when you were younger.

Try to get it for under 3 grand. Then go buy 2 gallons of bondo and some rustoleum. Drop in a motor home 440 and have something cool to bomb around in the spring.

He was asking 4200 but said he’d take 3200... thanks in advance

After looking at those pictures, I think that same money spent on Hookers & Blow would be a better investment.

Find another project without all that cancer.
Seriously, you'll be thanking the guys here soon enough when you find something better. Good Luck.

These are the pieces I’m confused about. I’m assuming I’ll need all of them for my window as you can see from the pics.

That Coronet will cost at least $10K in body parts alone. Another $10K for motor and tranny rebuild. Paint is $5K.
Labor on body work will be in excess of $20K. Misc, add $10K. And if you can find a reputable shop, it will still take them 2 years to complete it. So the actual cost of the car going in is relatively small compared to the total cost of the project. My advice, if you really want "B" body from that era, just go buy a southern Mopar with a "B" engine. It will cost less and you will get to enjoy it sooner.

Even if you purchase this abortion at a reduced price your wife will surely leave! I don't know maybe you want her to leave? I can't stop laughing! Thanks for making my day!

I bought a 69 GTX with a rusty roof, similar to yours. But not as bad. My car, complete, came with a perfect roof cut off of a donor car. Without that donor roof I would not have bought it. Worse than a roof replace would be a rusty cowl.

That rust looks bad. I would be concerned about the roof sub structure.

Not even if it was the last one on earth !!

 

[Highschool71]

Well I am sure someone will disagree but looking at those pics thats a $1500 at best unless it is something special. Remember, thats only what you can see, there is a lot you are not seeing and the inner structure has to come from a donor car.

The A pillars alone we be huge concern,, doubt there is any skeletal structure left on that one at the drip rails either.
Like others have said may be a donor at best and personally wouldn't give a $1000 even if it was complete...
