Unfinished project, currently no time or space to store any longer. This was our pride and joy for years since importing from Fresno in California. Apparently importing and Vinning is difficult nowadays so grab yourself a bargain. Please do not bid if you do not have the funds.

New oil sump, pulley, belt, Near new alternator, coil, leads, plugs, distributor cap, fuel pump, ignition switch.
Engine ran for us a year ago during our VIN process, requires linkages for gear box and driveshaft to diff. Fuel tank has been flushed and underbody paint applied.
Seating frames are intact, requires full upholstery throughout.
Original stereo and twin horns are operating.
Inside floor and ceiling has been wire wheeled and gobbler applied to surface rust.
Easy on the questions please, we don't have a full knowledge on this model.
Rust is minimal, surface mostly or all. Rust holes in the front cross member which can be easily replaced / repaired.
Shipped from Fresno in California about 5 years ago.
We are happy to hire a car transporter if required and deliver to a nearby port or within 100km for $500 after full payment is made. Further can be arranged at an appropriate cost.
Please bid generously, all proceeds go towards our next project.....
