Another Eleanor wannabe??? If so, I think you chose the better of the two to emulate.

$2200 as it sits. although with shipping I dont think it would be all that cheap.

the drivers side floor pan has rot, as well the battery tray.

interior needs a headliner and a freshen up. the carpet, and seat upholstery is not ripped but a little old. paint is definantly a 12 footer, and there are a few rust bubbles here an there.

its a 351c 2v with C6 and a 9". Motor is out and disassembled, its standard bore and has been magnafluxed with no cracks. the crank has been turned 10/10. it needs pistons, rings, and bearings. I already have the cam, timing gear, distributor, and lifters. all new in box.

The words "cheap" and "restoration" do not belong together in the same sentence.

like 65shlbycln siad, Cheap and restoration dont go along and especially for a 73. Any way good luck and if you do go through with it, either you'll love or you'll hate it. Hope you love it.
BTW what are your plans for the car?
Are you limited to a 73? can it be a 71 or 72?
