VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | Supposedly ran when parked 23 years ago (2001). Currently the engine turns over only about 1/5 of the way. I suspect stuck valves, but don't know. Apparently the previous owner planned to swap the body on it, reusing the drivetrain, but never got around to it. There is a stiff, used water pump, and a used trans rebuild kit, in the trunk. The car appears to be complete and not really messed with over the years. Only thing obviously missing is the Would have been a nice project car if it weren't just so rotted out. | ||||
