Yes, it was out of the car when purchased but the previous owner had it in his garage so it was transported home via the trunk of the convertible which was driven cross country to its new home. Articles indicate everything was there except the smog pump. It had a dropped valve and some internal damage but all has been repaired in the initial restoration performed by C.Hanson. Total #'s car according to the series of articles.

$200,000 level seems like pretty good money for this car to me but apparently not enough to the current owner. I noticed this car has been on the auction block at several auctions in the last several years.....2004 and 2005 at two different auction sites. The last where the car was bid up to $172,825 but not listed as sold.

Chuck shared a little about the car over at Team Chevelle, including that when he sold it about 4 years ago he got just over a third of what it bid to on the auction.
