I think I paid $250.00 for my 67 with a seized drivetrain, rotten rear floor and front floor. all wheel cyl. frozen but a rebuildable dual master cylinder. Front windshield badly cracked. door bottoms shot 3 inches up on all doors( which have since been all reworked and in primer for $1800.00) rest of the glass was good. The 66 I could have driven it home if the front wheel cyls weren't frozen. Had a running 240 in it. Front window cracked badly, but all lights and electrical worked, with some loose connections that are now fixed. The 66 was last driven in 1994 and had some new parts put on before I bought it for $200.00, The donor car for the engine was a 1981 chevy police interceptor with a v-8 which I drove for about a year and paid $1000.00 for. Body panels for the 67 which I will now use for the 66 if I need them were approx $900.00 out of Ontario about 6 years back. I spent about $1200.00 on 4 new wheel cyl. master cyl rebuild kit, all new window rubber,shocks,steering arm,tie rod ends,king pin set,brake shoes,new lights(Halogens),u-joints,brake lines hard and soft. This is what I can remember as for now...lol. there is more misc. stuff like welding gas, wire, vehicle wire, clamps, clips, screws, bolts...etc...rad fan, tranny fan, new radiator was $450.00. Sorry for the long list..all in all I think I am into mine for about $6000.00 so far and there is more to come. When I am done I should have about $15000.00 tied up and well worth every penny.....HAPPY VANNING
