I have a 72 that's been in storage for over 30+ years and has rust to the point the doors don't close very well. I would like some opinions on whether I should restore it or part it out.
Wanted to restore for my first granddaughters 16 b-day but she doesn't seem to have interest in it at 11. These cars have never been flashy but I thought she would kinda like it.... Well anyways what would you do if this car was yours? What should I plan for cost? Injectors been missing for 30years so it may need a rebuild plus it has 99000 miles on it Interior is in nice conditions. No tears Also is anyone from Ohio Dave ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 404] ![]() ![]() Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

I started with a fairly good example and have good engine and fab skills, let me say it is a lot more work than i thought and way more money than i thought. Though the only reason i am sticking with it through completion, is strictly sentimental.
Unless you get your daughter to help you every step of the way, you are far better off just buying her a modern car that will be more reliable and safer at a fraction of the potential expense. |
