This is NOT some uncompleted botched up conversion. This car was a daily driver that ran well and was actually dependable until it developed headlight problems that put the kabosh on driving hole after work at 9PM. This has the pricey Johns Cars conversion. Really an excellent seemingly dent free body that only has the one rust spot (see pic) and some normal rust under the rear bumper. This car has a "clean" title and DOES NOT have a rebuilt or salvage title. The current title was issued in 1999.

What it needs (hows that for being up front??)

This car has sat for about a year. I put a new new new distributor in it and varoom! The car needs sorting out. The oil pressure gauge does not work (I tested the OP with my gauge and its fine, btw). The car has a battery that seems good and holds a charge but is old. The plug wires are old and need replacing. The brake booster (booster not master cylinder --its new) leaks and is plugged off. The drivers seat has a split but its in the seam. The car needs tune up and general sorting --new coolant, fluids etc etc . The cats are missing but the exhaust is not rusted out (sounds good) All glass is good. The pass. door does not latch. There is NO accident history--otherwise, I have no knowledge of the cars history. Sold as is in TAMPA FL
