Default how much would YOU pay for this 75?

only thing pics don't tell you is it doesn't come with a title.
possibilities:
1) full tilt track car
2) part it out
3) jump through hoops to get title and make it a runner.

Not much. $1500 maybe if the frame was good. Why is there no title. That always makes me a little suspicous.
Good Luck.

I thought when you said full tilt you meant the car had a tilt nose...it doesnt,so I would pay 1000 for it.The front end minus the hood should bring an easy 1500 so you could double your money fairly easy.

My question is, do you have room to store it? It may take a long time to part it out and recoup your investment. I'm not that patient.

It's bad but not the worst I've ever seen. Especially if the frame is decent.

As I said earlier I would pay $1000 for the car.Within 2 days I will have the front surround off the car and delivered with a min. of $1500 resting in my pocket.I'm already up $500 minus $70 in tax and labor to remove the front end.The rest is icing on the cake.I dont have tons of room but enough.Sell everything else of any size cheap.The little things are easy to save for better times.

(I'm saying this with the idea the front surround is as good as it looks in the pics.Have to actually see the car to make the deal)

Not being argumentative but the frame is the hardest thing to get rid of.Anyone need a really good 76 bare frame?

Right but if the OP wanted to go with one of the two other options (other than parting it out), it would make the difference.

I dunno, wrong hood, & what appears to be a lot of damage on the front.

You would know better then I, it sounds like you have done this before. Looks like JUNK to me, & I can think better ways to spend my cash & a better ( R O I ). Too much work, too much storage room & slow return on your cash........
JUST ME THINKING OUT LOUD !!

Dibs on the hood. I like it!

I think that it depends on if you have the time, inclincation and space to part it out. I don't think it would be hard to get more than $1k out of parts. If you make a racer out of it, then only the frame matters. You won't need much else out of it.

it's not that hard to get a title out here, so long as it's not a stolen car.
that pic is outside my shop. picked it up for the low side of what all the realistic people were guessing.
frame is in good shape (not hit) with just minor surface rust. front end has been smacked and repaired poorly but the rest of the body is in pretty good shape, probably even better than my '81.
i figure if i decided to part it, i make my initial investment back easily just on the diff and doors.
BTW, if the hood fits my '81, it's spoken for. if not, i'm :

I'm looking for interior parts such as console, kick panels, door panels, etc. Can you help and if so, what's the pricing since you didn't list these specfiic items?

Thanks....jay
