Caged 71 Monte Project, Sell or Trade for Convertible Project

I picked up a 71 Monte Carlo Chassis off Ebay this past weekend because the price was just to good to pass up ($500). This car is basically a shell from the firewall back with a 12 point cage installed. I have a suspension for it and may make into a challenge car if know one buys or trades for it. I already have my challenge car for $2011 so I don't need this one right now. I am looking for a small convertible project for the $2012 challenge for my wife to drive. I would be willing to trade up or down for a good small convertible project.

I will try to post pictures here but if that does not they are in my profile or I can email them.

Let me know if anyone is interested. The shell the way it is I would let go for $550 which covers my cost plus gas to pick it up. Other parts can be negotiated, but I would really like a small convertible project starting point does not need to be complete or even close to it as I plan on making lots of changes.

kept seeing that thing on CL and not impulse buying it, looks like you did :)

i wish i could bring it home, looks awesome. wasnt it up in medina?

My first car was a E36 M3 brown '70. My 2nd car was a blue one. Both were unkillable cars that cost $700 each. One in 1984, one in 1986. The blue one had a blue quilted nylon interior that was much nicer than the vinyl of that era and I've never seen one like it. The PO used that vanilla fragrance spray crap and I never did get rid of that stench. This thread made me smell it again for a second - funny how that happens.

I got it off Ebay. It was located in Amhearst. I think the guy I got it from may have got it off Craigslist though and I don't think he had it very long. I do have a title for it so it could be a cool pro street car. It would be a neat project if I get time to get around to it.

is there frame forward of the firewall or is it cut off?

In reply to patgizz:

Yes the front frame is there past the suspension pickup points. The front legs were cut off forward of the steering box mount but behind the bumper bolt holes.
