<VV> Car number 2- 1966 Monza

[J. R. Read]

Sounds like a good project car if that is what you want.  AZ cars typically 
need glass (it's all sandblasted) and rubber parts (they just disintegrate 
out there).  Rubber parts are NOT inexpensive.  Paint over rust holes should 
scare you with this one

What happened to the $12,000 - turn key idea?

Later, JR

I just located another car in the area. This one is a 1966 monza convertible 
with the 110 hp engine and 4 speed. The say full restoration in the ad but 
was more “tried to do what I could” type of car. New interior, new top, new 
paint. Came out of a body shop but I would say the quality of the paint job 
is fair. Car was original to Arizona and it does look like it had minimal 
rust. I did look  at rocker panels and they look fine. The car is missing 
lots of little pieces but nothing that could not be tracked down. I guess 
that can be part of the fun is the hunt for parts. The window fuzzes are 
shot and the rubber could use replacing. Motor was strong but I think it 
could use a little tlc. Shifted well and I thought the brakes worked very 
well as I did a number of quick stops and had no problems. Emergency did not 
work but I’m assuming its the cable. I have attached some pictures of the 
car. He is asking 8K but no why no how do I think it is close to that in the 
shape it is in. I’m thinking 5K area but here is one thing the owner let of 
of the bag. He said if he does not sell in the next two weeks he will put it 
into a local auction. I don’t think this car will show well and I don’t 
think he wants to put anymore time into it. I’m thinking of waiting for the 
auction (I don’t have to pay for a buyers card) and see what it does. If it 
comes in low I could pickup a good project car. As you all have helped me in 
my last post I just wanted your advise on this one.
