Found a Urraco near me. I’d like to call it a barn find but poor thing has been kept out doors for a long time it seems. Also behind it is an older alfa and a few other cars under cover. I left a note. Car is rusted and paint falling off. I’m trying to add pics from my IPhone not sure it worked.

 

I’d like to know what Urracos are worth these days. What to look for when inspecting it closer? What does a decent restoration cost these days? Make it drive and make sure suspension good. Huge cost? Stuff an Ls1? So many possibilities. I must rescue this car.

 

An old friend that lives near this car says he also ha a 67 fastback mustang back there somewhere. Sorry for the pics but IG link is all I can put while on the road.

Im willing to bet it will cost you more to restore it, then the car is worth unless you are doing all your own work. I think a recently restored example sold for $65k.

Agreed... the Urraco is one of love and passion - not profit.

 

I have one that I "bought right" but now have more into the engine than the car is worth! (And it has not even been started yet!)

I still haven't received a call, I spoke to a friend who knows of these cars for over 20 years being stuck outdoors. Apparently he's the typical old nut job that's not worth talking to.

 

I will try a few more times as one of my projects is down the street, if I can save the car and sell it to someone who will rescue the car properly I'd be happy. I do not have the skills or the room to perform work myself on this.
