Notes:
The engine block is gone but the heads, intake, oil pump, oil pan and several other engine parts are included.  One E400 valve cover is also included.  The front fenders and one inner fenderwell are missing.  The car does have some heavy rust in the rockers, quarters, and floorpans but the body is pretty straight.  Without the front fenders, the bumpers and front sheetmetal are a little loose and lean to the side but I see no indication that the car has been hit in the front.  I can only guess that the fenders were taken to use on a different car.

The title was transfered on 3/15/81 with 71,000 miles and an Illinois car dealership got the car shortly thereafter.  It's been stored ever since.  All of the glass is good in the car but the windshield has some marks on it from the wipers.  Please understand that this would be a major project to restore but I have seen vehicles come back from a lot worse.
