We all know how rare this car is, so I don't think there's a need for that explanation. I did have the car running but the fuel pump gave up so it will need one. Now I tried to take a ton of picture's of the car to best show you the true conditions of the car, I don't like to sugar coat things and you end up with something you don't want. From what I can see it does seem to be the original engine and transmission, but please don't quote me on that. I truly don't have to the time or money to finish this car, so my lost is your gain. My goal is to make sure you are a 100% satisfied with your purchase. Please feel free to ask any questions, and yes we have the title to the car.
