do you what it when Im done?

the front frame rotted off,  lots of parts are gone, rear frame and full floor is swiss cheese.  drivers door is gone. bumpers gone.

scrap price is all I'll ask for it. 

its about the same as Loris 68 as for what it needs.  (everything)  about 4k in repro body parts.  you can pay 3 to 5k for a nice roller.

hmm maybe can i get some more pics ?

thanks Rick.....   that 68 fell apart when I took it off the trailer.  crushed the good door, I got sick.  I guess rust only holds them together for only so many years.

Nice car! I have been wanting a LS1 formula for a while now, just can't find the right deal. I still have a bunch of misc interior from my 98 if you need anything. I don't believe I have the pieces that you posted a pic of though, I will look tonight when I get home to verify.

If you need any help (not that you will) I know the late model 4th gens probably about as well as you know the 2nd gens :)
