Definitely willing. I just honestly don't know where to start. I'd definitely have to trailer it to you. I doubt it will even start up.

It was rusting back in the 90s when I drove it. It had a hole in the trunk floor back then and rust on the roof. I don't even want to imagine where all the rust is that I can't even see. I don't know how to repair that kind of damage.

The interior is also bad, but that's the easy stuff. Drivetrain is probably all rusted, and I know it doesn't have the original engine anymore. I'd definitely upgrade the transmission and rearend. It's an automatic with a 2.73 rear. Yuck.

But it's always been my dad's dream to someday restore it. He just doesn't have the time or energy to do it, and I don't have the funds.
Yeah, funds is a big deal, but if you're not looking for a numbers resto, you have one of the best platforms on earth to get back into shape, if you have the dough. Engine and drivetrain are a no brainer with scads of options from new crate engines to a junk yard rescue. And nearly every part, panel, doodad and whatsit on that car is available in repro and NOS [new old stock]. You could literally map everything you want fixed and there's someone who has an exact match, down to just a portion of a rear quarter panel, or as you say a trunk bed. Lost the original lighter insert? Got it. Headlights dead. Got 'em. Turn signals, ditto. etc.

Then there's obviously making the repairs, drivetrain, body and/or interior, yourself with elbow grease, and becoming a car swap [like a flea market for gear heads] bum looking for deals, which will cost more time but significantly less money.

Oh yea, same here. Got some things going on for both my Jeep and Momma's '57.
She thinks she wants to drive her '57 to Greaserama this year. I'm a bit nervous, definitely taking a fire extinguisher.
