So I bought back my first car. My father was the original owner of this Cat. Long story short, it traded hands several times. Went from my dad, to my aunt, to my cousin (who trashed it), then back to my dad circa 1984, who had an amateurish resto done with plenty o' bondo. But back then, it looked fine. My brother drove it in high school, then it went to me, and I did the same. I decided to sell it around 2001. Saw it for sale in my town (by somebody different than I had sold it to) in 2007. Didn't do my homework. Sat for a few years in my Mom's driveway. Look at the pics below to see what I found when I finally got around to giving her the time she deserved. Want the icing on the cake? To cover up the huge hole in the passenger side floor pan (which I obviously missed), two old NJ license plates were stuck in place and then sprayed with undercoating to hide their appearance.
I am in New York. Does anyone have any guess as to what new floor pans (both sides, the driver's side isn't much better) will cost? Oh yeah, and a new vinyl top as well. She's bubbling pretty good. Seriously, I would like some feedback... please let me know your thoughts... wondering if I should just part her out or sell to the highest bidder at this point? Runs pretty well, by the way... it originally was a 67 Standard with a 289 2 bbl, C4 auto trans, inverness green with black interior and A/C. Slapped an Edelbrock manifold, 500 cfm carb, and Accel electronic distributor on it... works pretty good...
Would love some feedback.
Thanks,
Brian
