I agree with ponchoshop..and I meant Banshees car...I also see that you are trying to search forthe missing correct peices to make it a true #'s matching car, Such as the carb and exhaust manifolds.....Those parts alone are BIG money for originals and it will add to the already high price of the car prior to starting resto. ...Keep in mind, that when the correct exhaust manifolds are (or if they are) found now the exhaust needs to be changed..I can hear the $$$$ quickly going into this car...I myself would rather pay for a restored correctly car that someone has already found the correct parts and did the resto, The price (in most cases) is even less!...Just my thoughts
You know John..you asked me to stay away from your posts several times and I have. Now you have to post this. Nobody asked you for your thoughts, nor do they care. As for your opinion, I could care less. You stated you wanted peace and humility, yet you can't even remember your repeated demands for what you so constantly violate. You start crap like this continue it and when Bjorn steps in, You state "we need to be a better board, enough of this..." You really have issues.
I make this statement not because I am offended by what you say, it is the inconsistancy, jealousy, spite, despise, anger,
You must be on a 24 hour post watch for what I am looking for..
I confered with Jim Mattison on this car, sent him pics and told him everything about the car after buying it. I agreed to the prioe before talking to Jim and knew this was an excellent deal based on the lack of a solid 400 HO car anywhere on the market in the last 5-10 years that is this price. Jim concurrently agreed that the car was an excellent deal..Do you wish to dispute his knowledge?
Yes, so it is missing a carb and manifolds. And?
Carb $1-2k, manifolds, I have a line on a set of K coded for $1000. That is $3k to complete and add another $1200 for a Gardner exhaust and $6k paint job, that is $11k purchase price, $4200 to complete and a paint job. $21,000 for a complete numbers matching 400 HO. Restored, they bring $32 to 35k and that is exactly where my car will be when finished.
At least I have a solid car, all options are there, needs no rust repair, etc.
You have an issue John, send it privately.
The post is about what 10K can buy.
