    Just a question for you all. Wonder what you all think a person should get out of a shell 1964 Fairlane, its been painted and has a fiberglass Thunderbolt hood on it, that has a roll cage put in, drummed out for rears, 9" rear end, fuel cell and a rechromed front bumper and grill. It has a rear bumper but needs rechroming. The wheels are on it are Welds with 10" on the rear and 6" on the front. No motor in it but has a 460 waiting to be rebuilt etc.
    Thoughts on how much its worth? or should ask.
    The guy passed away and the family and I have no real clue.
    Thanks in advance

    Totally depends on the quality of the workmanship. Very hard to even get close without seeing either it in person, or a bunch of pix...

    Having built two '64 Thunderbolt clones, one small-block resto-mod, & one accurate replica, I can tell you that if it is not a complete car (meaning glass, mouldings, interior, etc.) it will be very expensive to complete, which will affect the selling price.
    • Is it a sedan or hardtop? (all Thunderbolts were sedans)
    • Have the shock tower, radiator support, and other necessary mods been done?
    • What color is it, and what is the quality of the body & paint work?
    • How solid was the car? Has it had extensive rust repairs?
    If you want to PM me or call, I can post a link about it on the Fairlane Club private forum.
