Hi Frank, would you do it for around $15k? Mike B is looking for a one of show car but feels he can get it done for around $15k because market is sooo soft.
Thanks Jeff, but I already talked to Frank about his car. I told him outright that a B2 Ecat would not be in my budget (unless it is a total mess ~ which his is not), but that if he wanted to send some info I would be happy to check it out and chat cars.
Frank offered me a very reasonable price since he is thinking about taking it to auction in the future. And for a few minutes I thought about it... If I don't fund the 401k, Roth, or kid's college fund this year, sell the cobra, use the project car fund... "Honey, wanna invest in a car? It's only $XXk!"..."can you live in it?"... LOL! As tempting as living in a Boss302 Eliminator might be, I had to pass. So I thanked Frank for thinking of me and talking cars with me
I never said I wanted a highly optioned show car, or even a "1-of" car. There's one option I'm most interested in.
I do have a budget, and a limited work space (garage, not a shop). So I have no room for something that needs completely torn down, or is already disassembled.
Like Don mentioned though, the market IS soft on unrestored / project 351 auto cars. Especially ones that are priced as if they are restored.
