Vehicle Detail

Okay, I borrowed money from the wife to buy a new toy and I promised I would sell the roadster to pay her back, sooooo... No Trades unless you are planning to give most in difference. I love the car, but I need cash so up for grabs it goes Below is the description for the car. I have not had much time to do anything else with the car. It has a Nice custom built top that fits nice. The car has only 2 issues that need to be debugged to be a driver. The 2 carb setup needs someone better than me to sort out so it has 2 other single carb setups that come with it and I plan to try to get one on it in the next week or so. Also it has one rear brake drumb that is slightly warped and 2 replacements come with the car. Look at the pics and ask questions.
