I still have the original Wheels, hub Caps, Carburetor, fuel Pump, Bat Wing Oil Bath Air Breather, Rocket Valve Covers and several other parts that can go with the car if the new owner wants them. Car starts, runs and drives. Recent Mods include Engine Rebuild $5200.00, New Starter & Alternator $500.00,  FITech Fuel Injection $1500.00, New Fuel Tank & Sender $650.00, New Interior $2500.00, Tires & Wheels $2000.00    

All the big high dollar stuff is done Body & Paint, Tires & Wheels, Engine, Electrical and Fuel System and Interior.  The Car will start run and drive as is but here is what I had on my to do list of items I still wanted to complete.

(1) Modify Transmission Throttle Position linkage to work with the new FI system linkage.

(2) Move the New Electric Fuel Pump from Fire Wall to the chassis under the car by the fuel tank.

(3) Convert Wipers from Vacuum to Electric.

(4) Clean up and double check the wiring from the Generator to Alternator Swap 

(5) Replace window felts

(6) Install Lokar Floor Shifter, I have the shifter and it comes with the car.

Unfortunately my current schedule and list of other projects to work on has left me with no time to finish up the last few small items so my loss is your gain.

So I have Reduced the price and it is priced to sell. Last chance to make this classic yours at a very reasonable price. Take this car home and save me some money and grief with the wife.  Because if it does not sell at this price I am not going to give it away so I will open up the wallet and send it out for Air Ride and to have the last few things finished up and my wife will just hate that !! So Bring on those Offers !!!

Car is listed on ebay with a LOW reserve
