[TPR] Dream Cars

[DENNIS ANTENUCCI]

That’s an interesting list Asa. 

But full stop here…. you have had my Pantera for the summer enjoying the hell out of yourself. So stop dreaming and get back to work bobo. 😂😂

MD, who is also dreaming of cars and boats I can not afford. I blame my dad. 😉

>> I paid $21K back in 99 I think.  Today that same car in the shape I found it would be worth $60K.  This one might be worth $50k to $60K depending on how bad someone wants it.  Too rich for my blood though.

>> Rebuild brake calipers, put new shoes on
>> Rebuild brake master and clutch master and slave
>> New tires
>> Ball joints
>> shocks maybe, that could cost a lot (well, so could ball joints)
>> Maybe a-arm bushings
>> Engine work, but it comes with donor, can't beat that, one of them must work well
>> Trans should be okay
>> Window motor gears probably and any switches or relays that have aged-out
>> Replace radiator, rad tubes under car and all hoses
>> new fuel lines, and probably a new fuel pump (rubber aged-out)

>> At that point it's sure to be roadworthy, but that is a -lot- of work and a lot of money in parts.

>> Still, it's a good foundation to start with, like mine was.
