Well, this should be interesting. The owner just emailed saying that he needs to sell the car because his brother wants it out of his shop. Last message a few months ago was that he was nearly finished painting it and rebuilding the motor. Not sure if he got it completed yet? Not even sure if I'm still interested after 18 years!
Update: Just got a few pics. It's not finished. I'll post pics tonight when I get home. Such a shame he started working on it. Rust free, 20,000 mile original drive train L78 that had nice paint although the wrong shade of red.

Wow, what a long term drama with this guy.
Follow thru with the info, especially price. If you decide you are no longer interested, someone else on here may well want the chance to buy it.

Heard a little more. I'll post details tonight. Poor fellow has some health issues. Car is not complete yet, but he did spend bunch of money on it. Asking price is a bargain given what it really is - $48k.

From the owner…‘The engine has been rebuilt and installed in the car, transmission and drive shaft all connected. The car has been painted but not all of it has been buffed out yet. Doors are hung but still the front end needs to be assembled and fenders need to be installed. One door needs the glass reinstalled. The rear tail pan is painted but the SS hood is not painted yet. The front windshield is cracked and needs replacing. There is an issue with the oil filter adapter, it was pressed into the cavity in the block where it's supposed to be but it should have been mounted with 2 bolts. So it needs to be taken out and I have a new one to put in there the correct way. Also the trunk lid needs to be installed‘

Sorry…even with a new iPad I can’t get the pics oriented on this website. This doesn’t happen on any other site that I visit?

Still retired from the shop, but building my own stuff.

Looks like most of a day to assemble the car to move it. How difficult would it be to get it into Canada as a roller ?
