To costly to restore vs value but agree that would make for a fun ride and conversation piece when at cruise in and old up! I like it! Maybe a type of rat rod, yea!

I believe you're right - paint flaking off of aluminum.

I remember my uncle, a detective with Metro Police, bringing his 427 '69 by the house to show it off in '69. Wish I had taken pictures of it at the time -

A few days afterward, a friend of my sister brought his next car by the house - a '68 SS427 Impala convertible, triple black car (my parents had a '68 327 Impala Custom Coupe at the time). I can still remember that one in my "Cars I Wish I Could Have Had" list.
Those were the days -

Regards,
Steve

I think it still has value and is worth restoring.
Notice it's a 2-tone car - champagne and burnished brown.

That's worth yanking the frame, replacing the bent sheetmetal and running it as is, provided the motor is good. Easy job. Where are you going to find a 4 door 427/425? You don't have to do a rotisserie resto for the car to have value. We've started cars that have sat outside untouched for thirty years.

Any hints that it was a law enforcement car? Could also have been a sheriffs personal car, based on the color(s). 

Engine may be in questionable condition. Sitting with the hood down and engine compartment enclosed would help preserve things a lot better - compared to how it has been sitting since the accident. It may be perfectly fine, but don't bank on it.

Thanks for all the input and info about this car, i could share more about it but one of the members here went out of his way to locate it in an attempt to purchase even though i had interest in it. I learned from this that i should  not  be so revealing with the info about future finds. In the event that i wind up with it i plan to do a simple restoring just because i think it would be cool to have.
