    Guys I thought you would get a good laugh if nothing else. I am considering making an offer on this car for parts & wanted to get an opinion of what it's worth. Supposedly all it needs to drive it are a front seat & an engine. Comes with transmission. It's not a Grabber. The Rear Spoiler & hood were added. Check out the Grill & Tail Lights.:biglaugh: This car is local. My son went & took these pics today. More pics to follow.

    really likin those running lights on the front:rofl2: a little overkill on the rear lights.the grill really doesn't look that bad.looks like some time and effort went into it.looks like a good parts car.body looks to be solid.might be worth dropping in a v8,and having some fun.too bad the owner drilled holes in the rear bumper,for the hitch.hows the frame,torque boxes,floors,and the cowl vents?considering it has the grabber hood,and the rear spoiler setup,small bumpers and brackets,to me it's worth about $400.start low and offer around $150/$200 and go from there.
    good luck.

    The value really depends on the conditon of the rear spoiler and the Grabber hood since those are the most valuable parts ....

    I looked at that car about a week ago. The hood is rotten under the front lip. The guy wanted $900.00 and wouldn't come down, in fact I think it made him mad when I decided to pass at $900.00. Should be worth $300.00 for parts.

    i looked at the pictures and tried to come up with a price before i read the posts and i figured $300 at the most. looks to me like it needs work even on the hood and spoiler.:)

    Wheels look like 68-70 argent Torino/Mustang styled steel / GT wheels. Those might bring a few bucks back on your investment.

    That's the info I was looking for on the hood. That's what I was afraid of when I saw the Chrome trim missing off the hood. That usually means rusted out. When my son went & looked at it they couldn't get the hood up. I am definitely gonna pass on this one also. Thanks for the input.

    It's funny how some people think they have some diamonds in the rough sitting in there driveway like that car. Does he honestly think thats worth 900? like come on. Yes it has a Grabber hood but its rusted. And who needs the extra tail lights... that just upsets my stomach. God I bought my Mav for 750canadian thats like $7.50USD. The guy wanted 9 for it though... but I talked him down haha. It was in pretty good shape at the time minor rust here and there... and a couple dings and dents but It did have a few missing parts. But it was running and got me around for a bit. (Still have the car but its a shadow of its former self)
