A "Colorado Low" arrived and brought with it 4"-5" of white crap in town and 8"-10" South of here. Highways South & West were shut.

Frozen wheels...while jacking it up we pushed the springs into the trunk and snapped 3 bolts off the wheel before we quit and dragged it on the trailer....

You just need to add a price.

If you have always wanted a 74 Z28 go for it BUT there are more disirable Z28's

and you are going to dump a ton of money to fix the one you have there. Come

and find one here even a hulk here is going to be more metal and less Iron oxyde.

If it were me, and I wanted a 74 (70 is my fav) I would strip it and sell the good

parts other than the Z28 specific peices and put that money in your Z28 fund.

You'll find a better body to start with.

Sure, anything can be restored with enough $$$, but the other question would be "why?"... That car looks like it'll be a TON of work to restore. Unless it's more of the process and not the product that's important...

I'd go for a '69 or '70 myself...

It's a jack up the rad cap and start from there restoration........

Car was originally from Eastern Canada (read lots of salt on the roads) shipped here and bought by a girl I know, who sold it to her boy friend, who drove it till it started to look ratty and then it was parked at my ex bro inlaw's place (15+ yrs ago) and sank into the field. I looked at it 5 yrs ago thinking of fixing it as parts had become more available and changed my mind about it then. My son decide he wanted it and now it sits on the trailer......... @ $0.034 a lbs for scrap it was worth it to drag home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

There you go a start on the V8 teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) 74 Pre cat convert (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) get the engine running in the car if you can and yank it out and haul the rust away. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hey Bruce

Ya I am a sucker for basket cases as well.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif)

But the money is always an issue, that would take some serious coin to put it back in the top end of the market value (10K-15K here), I owned a 74 350 4speed, for a few years, big bumpers makes it a harder sell.
Don't get me wrong, the "matching numbers" are always a hot item, and is well worth your trouble, IMHO, get a stateside carcass, shell. Make two into one, it might be easier to swap ......numbers......Its not an ideal solution, but the 74s will never equal icon status($$$), like a 69. and it would turn out better and cheaper.

No stollen parts, clean title, good deal. But I doubt I told you something you didn't already know... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

Food for thought
Later

They close the roads because if something happens when your out in the middle of nowhere, people die. Also there was more snow South and West than what hit the city and when it's blowing you can't see the road to drive on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

As to the car, I think the plan is to pull everything worth saving off it and then stick the shell up at the farm to keep the 914's company up there.
