Default BARN FIND (garage)
Found this in a local paper today, went and looked and bought. Will post better pic's when picked up. $3500.00
80 coupe, glass t-tops, fresh engine, rollers etc.
only ran to check out, 700R trans tricked out, elect fans, shark front, whale tale, new exhaust, drive shaft, half shafts, trailing arms, all control arms rebuilt, Has all parts. Been working on for 10 years. Bought new 05 in 05 and lost interest. Factory alum wheels, new tires (May be OK as under cover)

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.

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.
