Drags - as a starting point. I just paid $25K for a "barn find" B&B built in 2000. It has a 1968 427 SO bolted to a 4 speed top loader. 2700 original miles. Paint is excellent but not "show" perfect - but it looks great.
Engine did not run but would turn over. It's been a fun project and so far I'm into it for:
- A new Holley HP 750cfm carb
- Repaired a broken distributor mag
- New battery
- Replaced the ignition wires and plugs
- Reset the valves and changed all the fluids
- New valve cover gaskets and lugs
- New
oil pan gasket to fix an
oil leak
I'm still chasing a couple minor annoyances but nothing keeping me from driving it. It runs great and running through the gears is a blast!
I will be replacing the coil overs this weekend and am considering a full suspension change as the car is a bit "loose". I will also be changing out the brakes since they are too mushy for my taste. Small Cobra II front end probably not helping. The tires look new but have been sitting for 6 years so they'll get me through the summer - but next year = new shoes.
By the time I'm done I'll be right around $30K and I was lucky the engine/trans really didn't need anything significant.
