more like a "sat outside for 20 years, along the side of a shed without a cover on it" find!
but for $1500.00 I couldn't pass it up, it has numbers matching drivetrain.
it's at least sitting under a car cover now.

You stole it for $1500. You've got a long road ahead of you but a '73 'vert with AC will be a worthy resto!
