Anything under $25k would be considered highway robbery! This thing screams function over form! Wonder how much more efficient the AC ran with the insulated high pressure lines?

That was a picture he sent me. When I purchased the car, the insulation was no longer present. AC works but not fantastically.

Picked up an LSD 5-speed and actually an entire extra engine for it (came as package). Not sure if I might rebuild that engine while the car is mobile or just keep the trans and sell the motor...

I can’t believe I’m seeing this car again....

The original pics were at Hyde Park area in Tampa. I saw this car once, and just stared at it for 15 min. Basically my brain completely shut down. Took me 2 coffees and a pastry to recover....

Glad it found a new home

One of my favorite neighborhoods in the entire country. It deserves better than this (former) monstrosity every bit as much as the car deserves it's newfound better treatment.
