The engine does not currently run because it needs wiring and plumbing of the fuel lines. Currently the front and rear fenders and doors are temporarily bolted on. The hood is not bolted on at this time. The body is primered other than the right front fender. The chassis has had a complete frame off restoration and modification performed. The brake system needs to be completed. There is a sway bar that needs to be modified to clear the quick change housing bolts. The last time the car ran was between 1999 and 2002 when the teardown, restoration, and modification process began. The car was moved into a shop in Branford Florida and the shop was paid to perform all of the work. The owner of the shop passed away in 2008 and the car was moved to California where it has been since. I have boxes of parts for the car. Most of the parts are the original ones removed from the car. But there is also a lot of new parts to install. I do not have the time to complete the process of turning the car into a daily driver again. The car is an original California car and I have the pink slip in hand. The original black license plates come with the car. I am not interested in parting out the car, so please don't ask. This was my father's project and he recently passed away and I just don't have the time or space to complete the car. I will do my best to answer any questions about the car, but I am not 100% knowledgable on everything that was done to the car. Please look closely at the photos before bidding.
