Today I was given this POS 67 caddy vert, 41K miles. 429ci motor but needs a front fender and full resto.

Problem is that I have too many projects already....no place to keep it. Will admit however it seems to have very nice lines.



this is what it looks like when fixed:


What should I do with it??

Unless you've had a really heavy desire for one of those for a long time I'd be running in the other direction as fast as I could. :-D :-D :-D

I saw one down Kent's way that was parked in front of a restaurant and turned into a planter box.

Take it to a "brick in" contest. That's where you put a brick on the throttle and see how long it will run.
