I know I get to critical but no breather and mad scientist wiring. Body looks solid enough I guess but not 5K solid.

I am just to critical.

The further we get from that era, they're just going to get more and more expensive.

Yeah I see that but I never cruise those sites other than just looking. If I put the feeler out something pops up.
Yeah, I am to critical. I see all the work involved. Scares me at my age I guess.

But you have got to admit 3K for that 67 is crazy.

You could go to the Hooley Classic Car Auction (actually going on as I type) and get a really nice car for fairly cheap. We have been to sales where they had a hard time getting to the reserve on many of them and a lot simply don't sell. We've seen some leave the ring for ridiculously low $$$...already fixed up and ready to drive.

You guys are missing the point of a car like that! That body is only a little worse than my junk. For the price, a couple grand in parts to make it road worthy, you have a muscle car under $5k that you can drive anywhere and not have a care in the world. After putting over 13,000 miles on this junk lemans, countless smiles and laughing, many dirt roads, winter driving, not worrying if it's clean, just drive the **** outta it and have fun! It could be major cool for cheap.

Well you didn't see it when we drug it home. Wasn't far off from that olds. The cancer on the olds is a little worse, but it's pretty close condition. The lemans is all sorted now, well enough anyway.
