Thanks. Yep, I am really hoping to find a decent project, and have come across a few recently. I do miss having a 400, but right now, I do not mind picking a project up. As long as teh body is in good shape, I can work the rest. Basically a running rig woudl be a plus, and I am kicking myself for not having jumped quicker in the last couple of weeks. I missed on a 400 locally with great body for $4K, and this weekend on a built (550HP for $6500). I snoozed and lost them. getting the text from the seller that the car just sold was a swift kick in the... hmmm you get the point
I just sold my cruiser buggy (offroad) which had a 400 engine, and was my Bird fix fos some time. Now time to get back at it
I looked at one last night in Santa Clara, looked great on the pics, but needs lots of loving, and a lot of the body work redone. he was asking $9800, was more like a $5000, and agreed at $7300.. but I am still debating if it is worth all the hassle as pretty much everything has to be gone through.
I came across a 400 convertible project for about $8K and may be the route I will take. I am also waiting for some more pics of another 400 maroon $8500.
