Current bid $3,050 reserve not met , 3 bids, 9 days left in auction. 35k miles.

Sellers description:
Car has been disassembled and media blasted down to bare metal inside and out. Left rear of car and right front bonnet and wing need some bodywork. The basic car body and the front frame tubes have not been bent and there are no cracks in the original welds. There is some rust erosion on both rear wheel wells, passenger door and by the front left under where the battery sets. Also left side rear of door needs some work. Floor plates need replaced (already have the new ones). The rest of the car is in excellent shape and close to being ready to paint. Pictures were taken during disassembly and wire tags were used to mark the wiring harness connections. The car is located in Gilbert AZ. (Phoenix). More pictures are available for both before and after media blasting. Email me if needing additional details.
