No longer listed on Craigslist in Oregon.   Must have been sold.

Wow Mark...

Is something wrong with the Deal ?

Interesting and a couple good candidates for Resto or Resto-Mod'ing. The price is right and after being on the Market for 2 months, the Seller might take less than advertised. If I was 10 years younger and  had an empty Barn, i would quickly consider them. But I just turned 70 and have a full work area.  I got enough on my plate.

I already have a '63' R2 in near 100% excellent condition, so for me, these are good candidates for a total Rerto-Mod and modern driveline, suspension and brakes to bring the car (1 finished off) to be a real Street Stomper.

Alice Cooper did the Resto-Mod route. 400-450hp, Mustang 2 suspension and a Ford engine w/ T5 Tranny...A Friend is also doing the same with a 600hp LS setup.
