His son said he just never got any project finished. Says it took 1 1/2 years to build engine. Engine is clean inside and turns as should. Trans and engine oil CLEAN. New stickers still on half shaft etc.

Yes, sorry about the camera phone. I am taking a 7.2 mp camera with me to pick it up and will take plenty of pic's. Hopefully tomorrow.

I amazes me that people don't even clean up a little before trying to sell something.
At least clean out the junk on the garage floor!
But then again, looks like it could be a fun car. No need to worry about modifying that one!

Cool find, post more pics when you can
Just to hijack briefly, can someone tell me what size fan belt I need for the alternator so I can use these same rocker covers?

You can modify that thing to the hilt and never have any guilt.
