Yeah.......we'll get back to you on that. A couple just recently passed through here but they were not rust free for sure.
I'm not expecting a totally rust-free car, but I just don't have the skills to start replacing entire quarters, floor pans, etc. I'm expecting to replace bottom quarters and what not. There is one around here that is fairly rust-free, but is hit hard in the front. Would need an entire front clip basically. And no motor/trans and thrashed interior. You may have seen it posted on C-body dry dock. Plus, the guy thinks it is worth more than it is.
Gotta assume your talking about Dans black car..... Yeah, its a little high

Yup, that's the black car. I'd keep looking, may take a good while.
They pop up more frequently than a 70 polara ragtop. If you look for a year or two you can pick your options and colors

Be easier, cheaper, and just as good, if not better in my opinion, to duplicate one.
Never been a VIN nazi myself.

No sorry, that's about 2200 miles away from me. I'm in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (not sure I can add that to my profile). There was a regular "T" code Fury GT on C-body dry dock back in the Spring. Oklahoma car. Looked decent as far as rust issues, just hit hard in the front back in 1979 (sitting ever since). And no motor, trans, title, etc. He was asking $2500. I think Commando1 told the guy what the car was really worth, and he didn't take it too well. LOL :yaayy:

I think this is one of them FuselageImperial refers to; had that somewhere recently.

"I really don't own this car. I was walking through the Pik 'n Pull and saw this. If you want it, send me the money and I'll buy it from the yard and I'll make a few quick Loonies..."

I had that happen to me once years ago, over th ephone. I was looking to get a beater and drove an '84 Olds Custom Cruiser, the big wagon. This was in '97 so it was 13 years old. It needed a paint job very badly, the headliner was falling down, and had a bunch of other little issues, but drove decently. I figured it was a $1500 car. The old guy who was selling it was asking $3300 IIRC. I called him the day after driving it and explained very nicely that I liked the car but that it had some issues, etc., and that all I would pay for it was $1500.
"WHAT!!! WHAT??? Why, I never... <click>"
Probably was better off without it anyway.

this parts car is still @ Mega U Pull it in El Paso. Probably a month to crush. Hood and RF fender are very clean. Yikes - just noticed it has front drums - must have been a challenge to slow that beast.

Like Dave, I have no problem with power drum brakes in a C-body. Or drum brakes.
With fat rubber you can stop in just as short a distance. What they won't do is hold up to fade when you're track racing which you ain't ever going to do. In a panic stop, they lock up just like discs...
