Viewing / Inspecting/Notes

Car can be inspected in St. Louis, MO

I have done 99% of all the work and have a bunch of spares, paperwork, notes, diagrams..etc which can go with the sale if desired.

NOTE:This is old car and as such, has quirks and will make you angry, happy, proud, pissed, andexhilarated sometimes......all in the same drive. I am only selling to get another car with more room.

Its a fun car and still has room for you to customize it yourself butwith that said, its not a perfect show car but rather a driver you can win a car show with :)

Selling so I can move on to the next project car. Not looking for trades (unless its a clean 510) and I do not need help selling it.

I reserve the right to obtain and verify the registered information of all users who bid on this auction,

cancel any and all bids at my discretion, or end the auction early if necessary.

I am also sure I am leaving out some items and will update the list
