I remember this car being posted on this site a few years ago. It was located not too far from me… Gave some thought to going down to take a look at it, but it was priced so ridiculously high for what it was, I decided just to let it slide. If I recall, it has legit documentation, but I seem to remember that the engine isn’t the original unit (just saw it was a CE engine). Should make a nice project for someone provided that they didn’t pay anywhere near the original asking price.

Regards,

Stan Falenski

The video has a few bits of misinformation, but all in all is reasonably accurate.

Stan is correct. This car was on FB marketplace and I posted about in Feb of 2023. The owner wanted over 100k and it had a CE block in it.
