Seems like this would have been a very good car for an auction,
very hard to say what it could be worth, but an auction would
state what it is worth.

Ken, would you be getting the car and both drivetrains?

yes but the deceased husbands brother "sold" the car even though no money has changed hands and the buyer has been dragging his heels and giving excuse after excuse as to when the car will be picked up.

I have a cash buyer ready to pick up the car NOW and willing to pay more
 
I am sure he was an amazing man who owned the car. To go into great detail to purchase it new and pull it apart. And purchasing all replacement parts for later down the road. Sad that his vision for the car was never completed.

Ouch! Sorry I asked.
 
I going to look at a completely different rare & hopefully
"fair deal" on a car this afternoon. I think people can get a
good or fair deal on a car without ripping them off, I don't
understand why some people do what they do.
 
Guy owns a local "performance" shop, he kept saying my "crew" is going to put the car back together, his crew was some guy from a gas station on van born,
