This car was going through one of the used dealer auctions in NY a month ago...
I do not know what it brought, however the car looks quite original, it has had a little touch up work, if the frame is solid and the body mounts look good it could be a great car for someone to detail and end up with a presentable solid lifter car under market prices.

----1st time I have ever seen an aftermarket fuel line off the carb run backwards. Must have an electric fuel pump somewhere down there. Not a bad car though..….Bill S

The fuel line has a rubber hose that does a 180 degree turn and splices into the original fuel line in front of and above the lower radiator hose. I guess the AIR stuff was in the way. Looks like the original TI coil still on it. Would be a nice complete car for a restoration.

You couldn't buy it, do a restoration and come out on it... the car would clean up VERY nicely and original lacquer in solid colors holds up well, in addition it is extremely easy to touch up and blend

----I see it now. Thanks. Fuel line from the pump appears to be copper. Not good if it is!......Bill S
