Notes:
Frame is in good condition, body is restorable, rear window not here and right front window is cracked.  Trim is stripped off so its ready to start body work.  Inside door panels are not usable.  Engine is disassembled.  All parts are there, will need a rebuild kit.  The block has been line bored, cylinders reamed and honed, cam bearings installed and head reconditioned, with machine work done at a local machine shop not the school.  This was supposed to be a high school auto shop/history club project but had trouble raising money.

Notes:
This car ran when parked but has not been started in over 3 years.  It has a broken manifold which has been removed, and I have another manifold that is good but needs to be installed.  Most of the chrome has been taken off and comes with it.  The taillights are in the trunk.  Glass is also good.  This car's rear quarters and around the fuel tank filler are rusted.
