The long version:

I'm buying a house that's short on car storage so I need to sell off my last remaining project vehicle. I bought it at an estate sale 4 years ago so I am a tad sketchy as to what has been done to it, bought it as a project car. It drove, very strongly, before I parked it. Drove it home from the auction. It was bought in a state of partial restoration.

The good news: Strong running 390 FE big block (hasn't been turned over in a few years but it should pop right over with some minor cleanup), sound and strong chassis, this car is 100% complete. All of the chrome and glass is in great shape except for one of the fender emblems is snapped in half and the bumper has some rust staining on it from the battery tray The. body is dentless, just some minor rust as described below.

Body work was done before I bought it, but it sat in primer too long and it probably needs to be redone. Some body filler was used by the previous owner, but from what I can tell only by the tail lights. Needs a single tail light "Q" trim ring.. Interior is in origional, untouched condition and needs a reupholstering, the rocker panels are in need of repair/replacement, but as far as I can tell only by the fender wells.

Please let me know if you're interested, looking to move this fast to cover some of the closing costs on the house.
