If this car can be bought anywhere near the $4200 the seller says he paid for it, and is relatively solid, I think it would be one hell of a good deal.
The slot actually looks to be right beside the trim tag where the cowl is rusted clear through. I pity the fool that buys this for anything more than a parts car.
Very bad pictures. As already said probably intentional. Looks like probably a rust bucket. "Farm Find" Is that a new term. Think I might prefer "Nice Dry Storage, Non Rust Producing, Non Mice & Rat Find"
I don't think it's a parts car. My 64 below is a real parts car. Yes the 68 needs sheetmetal work, no doubt. The owner paid too much at 4500. I bid 1500 just for fun. I also think the few select pics throws up a red flag.
He says the rear glass is missing, no picture of the rear. The rear glass probably just fell out.
What do you do about a trim tag that has to have metal replaced like that. As antsy as everyone is about this sort of thing, would be a problem later down the road?
Jackie, funny you m,entioned that. I did a reasembly of a 68 L78 Chevelle for a guy six years ago. He had his buddy drill out the trim tag when he sectioned a new cowl. Body guy filled the holes. I found the plate in a box of parts. He refused to let my put the tag back on the car because he didn'e want me to pull the hood and drill new holes.
The trim tag has been in my desk ever since. Some people never think they will have to sell anything.
Good call, I missed the rust 'hole' to the left of the trim tag.
I will say, though, that severe corrosion in localized areas can happen when a car is stored in a wet barn with a leaky roof, or under a pine tree. The car looks better than certain projects I have owned. I'd definitely have a look at it in person if I were in the market for a 68.
As usual, not a good idea to buy any 46-year-old anything sight unseen....
Ebay ad says "Sold" as of yesterday evening.
looks like the seller took a fairly big hit.
Anything that sat outside in the dirt under a tarp is going to decay.
States it came out of Indiana.
Ouch.
