Car was part way into being made into a track car. Lots of work went into that: Partial strip, hard top, paint, brey krause roll bar, new coolant tank, deep sump, wheel spacers, lug adapters, three sets of wheels, Momo Mod 7 wheel. Just buy an engine or fix one in car and enjoy. Car does drive. $4k
