I've had this car for years and I realized lately that I'll never have the time to finish it, I have too many other projects to finish first. It's a '73 with GT5 front spoiler and fender flares. I can sell it whole or part out the motor, trans, wheels, etc. It raced for years in the Silver State Classic. The car is 80% together and is rust free, but needs general reassembly. It's a roller currently, with the motor/trans out of the car but included in the sale. It needs the drivetrain re-installed, needs to be wired, the interior needs to be reassembled, and generally just needs to be gone through and put back together. Needs a windshield. A/C and heat have been removed, I still have most of the parts to re-install it if desired. It's a 99% rust-free car, the floors have a small amount of surface rust. No rot anywhere that I can see. The title is signed by the previous owner, I never registered it. Salvage title due to a theft in the 80's, but the car has been registered on the road since then by the previous owner. This car raced about 5 years ago, before it was put away. It's been stored indoors, in a dry garage since then. It's a VERY good candidate for re-assembly / restoration. It would probably take a few good weekends to get back to running condition. It's an old race car, so there's dings and paint chips, but there is no body damage, frame damage, or mechanical issues that I know of.
