Features: Honda coupe roof line VW Bus side scoops Pancaked roof Custom louvers in door Flared wheel openings Custom front spoiler Custom front license plate housing Shaved bumperettes, door handle, turn signals & trim New BMW badges Custom rear grill with louvers Trick gas filler capAbout the project:Extensively modified (the engine opening has been blanked over so you can't just install a stock drivertrain)The project requires someone with fabrication and mechanical skills as well as a buck or two to see it all the way throughI've had the car for 25 plus years and it's important that it goes to the right home (it's like putting a child up for adoption)...This is an always-garaged, California rust-free car built by Ron Russell, a brilliant automotive engineer / designerThe car has $10K worth of custom body mods (1980 prices)...It's a "roller" (it has no motor, interior, gas tank, electricals, etc - what you see is what you get)Set up for an inline 4 cylinder Honda motor (not included)Front & rear glass included along with the dash, swing out steering column & several milk crates of partsCustom made tow bar, my collection of Isetta magazines, files, photos, models, toys, etc also includedThis car has great provenance - http://isetta-provenance.blogspot.com I should also mention:Tires have dry rot (and a slow leak)Front spoiler not molded in yetSmall crease on the roof (not to name names but someone sat a box of frozen hot dogs on it)Golf ball size dent in the door (a towing accident)What's it worth? Ever price an unrestored Isetta (easily $10K and up)? Restored stock Isettas go for $40K plus now The car is straight, rust free and has $10K worth of body mods (1980 prices) The project was recently appraised at $5K by one of the foremost Isetta guys in the country...
