Well I made a short road trip today and picked up the 68 Pariesienne I had put up here a couple months ago, Car has some good points but would need lots of work too. Actually fired up the 327 when I got home and it sounds a little tired but hums right along. Power windows, top, and seat all seem to work, just need a little help from sitting all those years. Back bumper looks almost as good as new as does the rad. So whether to part it out or put it up for sale will be the question in the next little while. From what I have seen so far the frame looks excellent. If I sell it I'd probably need $1800 out of it, not sure if that would interest anyone or not. Knew I would have to have a big block in it if I was to remain on this forum so it should be here around the 16th.

Wow, that seems well worth saving AND affordable Jerel.
Well sort of like I mentioned before, if you got a project car for free and dumped x amount of dollars into it, is it worth doing? This is probably an average solid car as it does have soft spots in the front of the floors and in the trunk but I haven't had a chance to really look at it yet. It's such a big car it takes an extra couple minutes just to walk around it.

Used to those compact cars, eh?

So you gonna keep that and give away the acadian that you have in back yard??
Well my thoughts were to fix the acadian up for me and the wife to drive and then fix the pariesienne up for when the whole family is over, I think I can get all 8 in comfortably. Orrr just sell them all and get one good car.
I am just going to add some pictures I took today if anyone would be interested in the car.
After looking it over this morning not really sure what to do with it. The right person could make a nice car out of it or another person could get alot of nice parts. Front fenders are solid and so are the doors. Doors have had speaker holes cut in. The magnet comes off along the rear wheel openings so repair has been done there at some point. Don't be scared to tell me what you think one way or the other.
