Well, I guess some of the car survived. Unfortunately the motor and the front end didn't 
At least it's priced "well below market value" at $89,900

car is extremely original and unmolested.
Wow, every car I've owned is unmolested then.
I don't know about you, but seeing that "427" on the hood makes me a believer in it being original and a survivor.

If you read down further you will find that this unmolested survivor's "engine numbers do not match". Yet he does believe that he has all the original parts, including the "broken front-end fiberglass".
I particularly like the part about having an old quote of $5,000, from a midyear expert, to repair the nose with OEM style fiberglass, strip and refinish the car. Though he was kind enough to adjust the old quote for inflation. He feels it would now cost $8,923.75 to do!

I think he meant $8,900.....
Perhaps the "Collection" is something that was salvaged after the bombing of Baghdad.

I just love this:
"While a person could do a frame off restoration, I personally would recommend against it in the case of this car since it is so well preserved due to its proper long-term storage. In my opinion, this car would make a good Bloomington Gold Survivor candidate."

That has to be the longest ad I have ever read that said almost nothing. I am surprised he didnt divulge his favorite books and movies. Why has he kept this "unmolested" car in such beat up shape in a climate controlled garage for 22 years without doing anything to it?
I think he is perhaps a trust fund baby that recently got out of the "hospital" and needs some cash because his guardian has him on a limited budget.
