Replying to: berri (Dec 30, 2008 5:48 pm) I know the 1960 Chryslers had a dash display that was called the "AstraDome". I think it was the same from 1960-62. Here's a pic of one from a 300F...   It is a neat looking piece, but I've never seen one that was lit up. Replies to this message: berri (Dec 31, 2008 9:29 am)

Replying to: boomchek (Jan 02, 2009 1:28 pm) Hmmm.... a '65 Convertible but only a 327 engine. Not sure there's a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, although there may be a pot of sorts.   So you restore it completely and it's worth what....maybe $60,000? What's it going to take to get you there? Well aside from a new frame and body I mean.   I'd say sell the VIN tags and the powertrain and those pricey little bits, and the rest goes into a wood chipper. That's obviously what the bids are about right now. Replies to this message: boomchek (Jan 02, 2009 1:37 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 02, 2009 1:55 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 02, 2009 1:32 pm) I'm guessing the VIN tags are worth the money in here. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 02, 2009 1:55 pm)

Replying to: boomchek (Jan 02, 2009 1:37 pm) Oh yeah definitely. Or if someone needs a date-correct motor, trans, and diff, even if they have their own VIN tag. You can always deck the motor and re-stamp the VIN to your new car, but faking casting numbers and date codes is a lot harder.

Replying to: boomchek (Jan 02, 2009 1:28 pm) maybe it is one of those cars, that was put together from 2 donors. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 02, 2009 2:04 pm)

#16297 of 19249 trade time by lemmer Jan 03, 2009 (1:24 pm)
well not really, but here are some cars I've been offered in trade for my '86 911. I assume cash comes in the deal with the Vette and the BMW. None of these are quite what I am looking for, but they are interesting.   1968 Firebird   2000 BMW Z Coupe. This link doesn't seem to work anymore, but it was a 100K mile car that needed a new front bumper and a few other minor items. My guess is that it was even worse than that description implies. He was asking $10K.   '94 Vette Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 03, 2009 2:31 pm) andre1969 (Jan 04, 2009 7:00 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 04, 2009 8:56 am) qbrozen (Jan 04, 2009 6:48 am) lemmer (Jan 04, 2009 10:28 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 04, 2009 10:47 am) and 12 more...

Replying to: lemmer (Jan 03, 2009 1:24 pm) the '68 Pontiac is overpriced by $3K--$4K. Rust issues are no small matter. I'd think this would be a boring car to drive, as a 350 automatic, but maybe nice for getting ice cream on Sunday and all that.   94 Vette-- looks like a nice car, good upgrades, but boy you're going to have to get used to a massive drop in build quality here. I hope you aren't too sensitive to that. But for $10K, it'll probably beat the pants off your 911 and having the roof come off is nice. Parts are cheap, but then you're going to need them often.   Looks like the 2000 BMW is no more. Replies to this message: andre1969 (Jan 04, 2009 7:00 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 04, 2009 8:56 am)
