Most of those look like great project cars, but when you get to $13-$14k for what will end up being a frame off restoration on a low horsepower car, it's really not worth it in this market.

Paul IMO the red '65 396 coupe was not a low hp car - but i belive this one is already sold

Thanks, Carl. I was talking about the rest of them. However, if there is no provinance with that 65, or if the engine is NOM, then it is more of a risk than it looks, as far as making a decent profit on a restoration. These are pre 2007 prices, and they don't reflect the recent price drops in the C2 market.

I've seen some of those cars advertised 6 to 12 months ago.Is it legit or are they just overpriced?

Re: Looking for a project

These cars are mostly salvage title stolen vehicles, flood damaged or fire damaged and bought from the insurance companies for resale.

One would be fine to make into a driver or race car but cost for a NCRS type restoration would be prohibitive and there would be no good documentation in most cases.

They have been sold for years by various companies.

Re: Looking for a project

Hi,

Does anyone know of somebody that actual bought one of these cars from autosource.biz? I'm looking for a project car and will not bring it to NCRS judging, etc. Just looking for something to do in retirement.

Thanks,

Jerry
