I spy rust on the rear corner... How badly is the front end crunched? and does the engine turn over?
lots of questions.
Would it be worth a 15 hour round trip to this salty old junk-miner? Maybe- After all, I once drove all the way to El Paso Texas and back for what eventually became the blue bondo bucket (triple B) parked out in my side yard right now - But, I got REALLY lucky with my 66- I bought it as a non-running parts truck and all it ended up needing was a wave of the magic wand.... and a new suspension, and some serious frame surgery, and a body-off rebuild and paintjob, and, and...
Wait, just HOW lucky did I get?????
Yeah, I don't think there are any round trips to Telluride in my car-hauler's immediate future...
But then again- I also did two 12 hour round trips to California to gather up my 62 Ramona-Zona softtop Patrol, and the 65 hardtop scrapper, turned numbers matching resto-mod candidate... so maybe....
Yeah, NO. No trips to Colorado.
No, no, no, no, no.....
No.
