The first one looks like it needs Harry Hyde to kick the passenger qtr panel...the only one not damaged...

7500.00 for an empty shell and a VIN #..hell...I'll take two...

Convert K code, that he has owned for 25 yrs and left it out like that. I guess there are always smart ppl out there. No intention of selling it. What a dumb ass.

At least the 68 is savable, you know they are just going to take the vin and put it on a different car.

You don't understand the K code crowd. A K code convertible? Somebody will buy it, now or later. Looks like it rolled, and got stripped.

The K code convertible is extremely rare. There are 168 65 K code convertible in the Registry, which is 9.72% of total production. Naturally, not all the survivors are in the Registry, but I'd be very surprised if 20% of the cars produced still exist.

I saw a 66 GT K code convertible not much better than that get restored to show condition about 10 years ago.

The car in my link was about that bad, really. I mean, whether a quarter panel is a little shot or a lot shot makes no difference, it still has to be replaced.
