This was my car as a teen. 6 years ago I decided it was time to restore. A very accomplished guy in my area put brand new floorpans, (high quality) Did some suspension work and then I sent it to another state for restore. The guy started out doing a great job. bodywork, replacement parts and wheels and tires, disk brakes all around and primed and painted.
My local guy built a 1776 motor with dual carbs and I shippped motor to restore guy to put in car. I finally picked car up and restore guy said motor was having some issues (normal) so i took it back to local guy to go over it. I picked it a couple months later and the molding was falling off and a small amount of rust was developing on rear pillar. I then got to looking and noticed restore guy decioded to get a little cheap on me and skimp on parts. I decided to redo the interior that was shoddy and forget about it. I cranked car on regular basis to keep it up while I worked on interior. One day the belt slung off while i was cranking it and I got busy at work and just lost interest. The motor was running when this happened and that was 1 year ago, the car has been sitting there and now it has to go
THE GOOD: All in all the body is tight when you close doors. great glass in it, headliner appears to be fine, good paint on inside, speedo is set back to 0 but has 3 miles on it when I did take it round the block. tires and rims are good all lights worked and speedo worked and lit up. Car fired right up. Motor would scoot, all new wiring harnesses
THE UGLY: Interior needs to be done, inside doors needs to be redone as the were not in the first place (restore dude sucks) small rust on back pillar see pics, Engine needs belt if it needs anything else I do not know I'm not a mechanic. Window cranks need reworking. It needs a hood and hardware for it. i have the seats but they need to be redone and they are not releasing like they should, All runer around rear truck is gone
I'm tired of seeing this car sit there and not be with someone that can bring it back to life. It's just not going to happen with me. If your near me I can deliver for a fee. other than that you are responsible for pickup or delivery
NO RESERVE

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash
Thu, 11 Oct 2012After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers
Thu, Jan 14 2016The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB – but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:
