Engine rebuilt "0" miles since rebuild. Have video of engine rebuild and engine running. Not hooked up to the new gas tank and new fuel level assembly at this time. Runs on clear line from quart gas cup to new fuel pump. Spent a lot of time and money on engine. Valve covers are color matched to original color, he numbers on the VIN match the engine #s. Tires in good shape, riginal rims not mounted but on property. I spent over a year working on the car and I have lost interest in finishing it. It was too big a project for me, lone, t 73 yrs. . .Clevet bearings and good rings, od bearings, ain, ll new, am 3/4 race mild cam from Summit racing in McDonough GA. Engine block was in good shape, at dipped, nd cleaned. Cylinder wall in good shape, ingle-berry provided final finish for new rings. Plastic gauge at 3/1000 checked. Engine probably has 2 hours running time.

Most of the pictures are the actual work in progress. The d/srear quarter panel had some rust and was replaced with a new quarter panel made in Canada and shipped to me in Atlanta. You can note the green was the original color of the car. The kevelar bondo is finished and painted red in several of the pictures.

Body work that was done and is not perfect; it is not a show car at this time. Bumpers were $900 each (times 2) front and back. Single piece replacement metal floor, see pictures) and other items ran up the tab. rubber seal for trunk and hood are on the car or in new package, ot sure which. Painted metal flake red with white stripes. Have replacement top hydraulics with new $100 lines, isplaced two metal parts to make the top go up. Would be easy to find replacement as these parts do no wear out. This was probably the final nail in my losing interest. They may be in the shop someplace but I could not find them. Old people do not do well with long projects and then when they lose parts it tends to destroy their limited enthusiasm. Thus it is for sale. . .

Main items remaining: find two metal pieces for top, new top, nstall driver's seat (in shop not original) and seat belts, ook up shift linkage (was considering floor hookup), nstall side panels on doors, ave new white vinyl material already mounted. Run new fuel lines, ill brake reservoir with fluid. Some trim items, ear view mirror, ide mirrors, wap wheel if you want to original rims. This car was tagged and insured in Georgia in 2013, ngine and serial number match see VIN number. Sold with a bill of sale and previous tag receipt from Georgia, o title. Engine V8: bore 3.75 " and rod stroke 3.8" (2774 cu in). If you are really interested you may call me at 770 402 2738. I strongly recommend that you see car prior to bidding because it is sold as is and you cannot possibly see all of the items without viewing the car in person. Shipping is purchaser's responsibility. You cannot drive this car home!!! It will have to be trailered or trucked to you location at YOUR expense. I can help load to my limited abilities. . . NO taxes or fees are included in the purchase price on eBay sale.

Please read condition above and made a part of description. I am sure I have forgotten many things. STRONGLY suggest that you or someone you trust views the car prior to sale. This sale is going to last for 7 days so plenty of time. I have highlighted the main points I can remember about this project. I'm certain things have been omitted.
