That said I have been offered $3500.00 Garaged, minimal body rust. Engine turns over. Needs a tune up. Many new parts, and original parts to return to non-modified, improved, running condition. Panasports, improved wiring, starter,voltage regulator, fuel pump, distributor etc, etc. I am not greedy but I don't want to cheat myself.New top installed. I have had the car since 1980 but circumstances beyond my control cause this sale. Many extra body, engine and gear box parts.
