I was looking at one at a "trading post" in Covington, but when I went by on Monday, a guy was towing it out with his pick up. It looks just like yours. I should have moved faster but I was going to wait until I retire in Jan for my next project.

EVERYTHING works on this car except the transmission, A/C, and cruise control.

The Weber carburetor does not have the provisions for the cruise control, and the a/c needs a pump or clutch, but it's all there.

I believe there is a shift fork bent or broken in the transmission, as it will not move when put into gear, it stalls the engine. It will shift to neutral. If you or someone you know knows anything about gearboxes, I'm sure in can be fixed easy enough, or get a replacement from a yard.

I would be interested in the front fenders and maybe a few other things if you are willing, shipping would be to Ontario Canada.

I can't imagine what the shipping prices to Canada on a set of fenders would be... I'll bet it's big bucks though...

LOL, you could almost drive down here with a hauler and drag it back to Canada for that kind of coin (realistically not...).

Got too busy last week, and this week looks even busier, so it's still in one piece here in my driveway, and will live a couple more weeks... somebody come get this car!
