On the video, the son says that his brother is going to have the car restored. Sure hope he has very deep pockets. Does anyone see how this can make financial sense to anyone except the folks doing the restoration?
I expect they are into the car cheap, maybe $2500 back in 1967. They are less likely to get upside down than someone buying the car for $40K and then restoring. They are the best owner to restore and maybe stay close to even in the end, but it will no doubt be expensive. IIRC, the restoration shop quoted near $35K to fix all the metal work. That puts them at $37.5K with a solid body. I think there is room to work.
However, that car scares me to no end. If you chemically dip it, will there be anything left? Blasting it will not cure all the hinder rust, so what do you do there? Maybe blast again after cutting off all the fenders and cowl. Gain access to all the hidden areas and treat. Then dip into a chemical conversion solutions to treat all the rust missed.
