*Body is rust free, no dents, needs paint and glass.  Tires are old, all the trim is with the car, bumpers have been re-chromed, front floor pans have been replaced, “Dynamat” sound and heat insulation is installed on front and back floor pans, new carpet and door panels.  Needs seat upholstery and head liner (a roll of seat material is included)
*All the gauges, lights and turn signals work, new ignition switch, headlight switch and high beam switch.  Heater works with new heater valve and inlet duct connector, needs defrost hose.  New speedo cable and gear, new glove box.  Radio does not work.

The car came from Sacramento, CA to Petaluma, CA to Kingman, AZ.  When I got the car it had been completely dismantled and I have spent $7,500.00 in parts and 650 hours to make the car drivable.
