<VV> Car number 2- 1966 Monza

[Joe Lewis]

I know! I guess I just don’t want to leave any stone unturned. If I can find a good car with good bones I still want to look. The turn key would be the best but I think at the right price this one could look good. Makes me get my hands dirty (or my wallet light)

The say full restoration in the ad but was more “tried to do what I could” type of car. New interior, new top, new paint. Came out of a body shop but I would say the quality of the paint job is fair. Car was original to Arizona and it does look like it had minimal rust. I did look  at rocker panels and they look fine. The car is missing lots of little pieces but nothing that could not be tracked down. I guess that can be part of the fun is the hunt for parts. The window fuzzes are shot and the rubber could use replacing. Motor was strong but I think it could use a little tlc. Shifted well and I thought the brakes worked very well as I did a number of quick stops and had no problems. Emergency did not work but I’m assuming its the cable. I have attached some pictures of the car. He is asking 8K but no why no how do I think it is close to that in the shape it is in. I’m thinking 5K area but here is one thing the owner let of of the bag. He said if he does not sell in the next two weeks he will put it into a local auction. I don’t think this car will show well and I don’t think he wants to put anymore time into it. I’m thinking of waiting for the auction (I don’t have to pay for a buyers card) and see what it does. If it comes in low I could pickup a good project car. As you all have helped me in my last post I just wanted your advise on this one.
