This thing has had more turns than a door knob at being sold. We have seen for sale just about everywhere in the last 2 years. I find that dealing with sellers like this is just a complete waste of time. $17,000 is a lot of money for an unfinished project of this sort. It has been heavily modified and will never be viewed at the same value as a truly restored car by the collectors who pay a premium for originality. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The surprises are a guarantee.
