Car has shaved door handles, and custom door panels, custom headliner, front seats have been recovered. New fenders (front and rear), one piece windows in doors, cal look seals, new running boards, new harness, windshield wiper motor, there are 2 rear deck lids (old and new). Pic’s show door not attached, they are in the back seat area of car so they could not get damaged during storage. PAN Pan is in excellent condition. New pan half’s, All new tie rods, ball joints, steering arms, gearbox, brake lines and hoses, master cylinder, new springs in axle tubes, shocks, ect, ect. Car has been lowered 3 inches.

TRANSAXLE Stock swing arm case. Has super diff installed with 4.11 gear. It has all new bearings and new case hardened gears with new synchros. New cv joints and boots, new chromemoly axles, quick throw shifter and chrommoly shift rod. OVERALL Car needs good loving home. Car has not even been driven 5000 miles since overhaul and damage occurred. Quite frankly, I am exhausted and lost interest in this car. I have let it sit now for a while and decided it is time to let it go. It has not been started for 2 or 3 years now, will need a tune up and probably have the brake drums cleaned out, maybe gas tank too, as well as body fixed. I have spent over 20 thousand dollars on this car and hate to see it sit. I do have a clear clean title, NOT a salvage title although, it has been lost. You will receive a bill of sale at the end of auction. I would appreciate no low ball offers. Pic’s are how the car has sat dust in all. Good Luck Bidding…. **As is, where is. No warranty written or implied** **I reserve the right to end auction early, due to it being advertised locally**
