Project For Sale - Dayton NJ - SOLD

 

Well, I've come to the conclusion many years later that this project isn't going to happen under my watch after all. Seeing as I am planning on moving to Florida in a few years, I just don't see it happening. I need to get the Tesla into the garage, and between this and the '76B, this is the one to go.... So it's for sale. I'll be posting info and pics here, and you can read the back story in some of the other posts below. 

I'm asking $1500, which I think is a reasonable figure for a 99.9% complete, pull-handle steel dash car. It's also a relatively rare steel wheel car. All of the parts are catalogued in Excel spreadsheets and boxed with corresponding numbers on the boxes. All of the various nuts/bolts/fasteners are in Ziploc bags and marked. The parts I purchased new are in their original packaging. There are also some NOS parts as well as duplicates of a few items. For example, I have 8 of the dogdish wheel covers. I also have 2 additional engine blocks that go with the car, both 18GB blocks. 

There are a few items I do not have - the interior door cards were mildewed so they got tossed. The car has the removable 'packaway' hood - I have the frame but again, the original top was mildewed so it was tossed. There may be a few small connectors/wires/cables I don't have. There were some parts removed when I purchased the car. That's why I'm calling it 99.9% complete!

Below are some pictures of the parts that I have removed and new ones purchased. The last few pictures of the glass, grilles, bumpers, etc - I will have all of those parts available for viewing by interested parties - they are tightly packed in my basement and a bit of a pain to get to at the moment.

As you can see, the car does have tires on it - they are old but will hold air to be able to move it on and off a trailer.
