While I wish it was worth 10 Busas, it does not have the super roo decal on the guard and is a JG34 and not a JG33 (I missed out big time around 10 years ago). The car is a factory GS and not a GT, it comes with a mere 302 windsor, Top Loader and 9". She has some rust and needs a respray. We are tossing up on selling her or striping her down, cutting out the rust and welding new sections. A friend who is a panel beater has offered a MIG, his services and a little time to teach me to correct methods in cutting, MIG welding and getting her prepped for paint. Once completed worth around $50,000 +. Honestly the rust repair is very minor and a chance to broaden my experience with body work and paint prep. It will also give me a chance to build up my tool box as well.
In fact we had someone come and look at it this afternoon and made a really silly offer of $10,000 for it. Wife wants $15,000.
The funds were going towards the other Ford in the garage that shares space with the Busa. She is American and comes with a 289 Windsor and I guess cant be seen in the picture. But my dream car since the age of 14.
I guess I have too many toys and a very understanding wife. NO chance of a divorce boys as I am the luckiest man alive.
Mate that has to be one of the cleanest looking k6's ive seen!
Ahh the gs!
I remember i couldve bought one for 5 thousand an it
was pretty mint.
7 years ago tho...
He told me the guy that was loooking at it wasnt
that interested an to come past,when i got there,
it was sold :(
Its ok tho,cuz then i wouldnt have my beloved
charger.
So what you thinkn bout restoring?
A mustang as well or something?
