1968 Fastback Rusted Out--Is It Worth Anything??

[sleeton]

A guy called me today to come look at his 68 fastback that is heavily rusted out and does not run. Car appears complete and has what i believe to be a 351 in it 2bbl and an automatic transmission. Is this car worth anything in the way of parts??

Might be some parts. But I doubt there's much.

whats the engine code? all the glass/odds/ends- its worth something parted out- just make sure its nothing super rare (in which case I'd ebay it) Wow that is not a project for me

This car was just as bad. The piece of wood below the quarter panel is holding the car up. The floor and panel above the axle had completely rotted away.



Now it looks like this-

Yes if the price reflects in condtion.

[sleeton]

How much did it cost to fix though

[sleeton]

Wants $1000

How much money is there in parts to part out

Now it looks like this-

How much to restore it? The car is in Europe. How many 68 Fastbacks are around Europe? What would it cost to import a car from the U.S. Those are some of the factors that made it worthwhile to restore that car.

It is not worth more then $100-$250 at the most. Even then it is too much unless you got money to just piss away.

I doubt you could find a coupe thats rusted out for 100-250$. Fastbacks are not a dime a dozen. That car worth 1k. Im sure there is 1000 bucks in parts. I paid 250 alone for front seats in good shape that needed recovered!

Its worth $1000 easy, many good, hard to find parts
on it specific to a fastback or better yet save it and
restore it, less of them around as time goes on.

A $1000 is a decent price for the car. It's a fastback and there are more than $1000 in parts on the car. I would love a car for that price to fix up.

So is it worth it??
