MARK Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I know this car. The car sat outside for many years a few blocks from the ocean in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. The mechanic who bought the car was going to restore it, but left it alone and did minor stuff; tuneup, fuel/fluid changes,etc. We met a few times at local shows. Just recently he sold the car for what he paid for it, about $5800.00 This car needed chrome work, full paint, all rubber around doors/windows replaced. The carpet was exhausted and some interior work needed. I know the torque boxes were an issue. I can not speak about the mechanics as I did not drive the car. When I remember the owners name I will add it later and will try to find out who bought the car too. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
