I agree. Just too good a deal to pass up. With your skill set you can have that baby on the road pretty quickly, assuming you can get parts at a reasonable price.
I would be tempted to put the auto trans in it just to save time. Hate to see it setting outside.

You're probably right, Lynn. I don't want it sitting around not moving under it's own power and the auto would be the best way to achieve that quickly.
Working on getting the rollback running again to sell right now. Thought the timing chain had jumped, but once I got into it, it has been replaced, but appears to have been installed 1 tooth off and the chain is very loose. What a cobbled mess that turned into... as usual.

OK, it's all here...
Photobucket used to resize pics for forums, but I haven't had any luck finding that feature, if it still exists, so get ready to scroll your screen...sorry.







Basket case. How many people are crazy enough to buy something like this ?





The "roll cage" was to install the 1 piece cabin floor. It's tacked and drill screwed in place. From the little I can see, it seems to be a decent job.
Coil over rear suspension conversion included.



Trunk lid is trash, but Terry has a brother in CA and he found this mint lid for the car. Terry drove down for a visit and brought it back.





1 piece trunk floor...



Early Muncie M20





Engine.... 283 with unknown internals. Dyno'd at 290 hp 285 torque at 5,500 rpm. Heads and intake appear to be Chinese knockoffs. I haven't found any identification on them yet.
Should be fun to find headers for angle plug heads... Gonna look for an used (cheap) set.
