SOLD!!!!
I've owned this beast for about a year and a half. I was going to prep it for Targa Baja California, but that plan was moved to just making it a decent project daily driver. The car is posted on eBay right now as well, but I thought that someone might want a Concours d' Lemons car. Below is a cut and paste of description. I will answer any questions asap.

Great Driving Project!
Eventually needs rear shocks, attention to paint (still is 15 footer, but the clearcoat is chipped off on trunk), one gas tank is hooked up, both are open/unlocked, needs new window seals, one door seal, and the heater is not hooked up at this time. Needs tach and speedo hooked up, along with gas gauge, There are a set of auxiliary gauges (old school sunpro type triple gauge) which help with temp, oil pressure and voltage when driving. A fussy owner could find other little things to fix/work with which makes it a perfect local-driver project.
Roof rack and bike racks will go with car. I have one key for the roof rack and two ignition keys for car.
The rear twin subwoofers, amp, and enclosure will go with the car and it is 80% wired for sub and would be the perfect addition if you want more audio flexibility.
Headlamps, brake lamps, sidemarker, and running lamps all work. Horn, wipers, and turn signals need to be wired into the system.
Some minor rust near rear gas filler (see picture for trunk and this area) and a couple of heavy chips on roof near drivers door and passengers side mirror. Appears to have been hit in the drivers rear many years ago and fairly repaired. I just changed both rear tail light lenses with original lenses that are in excellent condition The hood is also a bit tricky to open, but easy to figure out. Floors are solid with only minor surface rust from water on floor when windows were down, which was cleaned up and dried out completely.
Remember, this is a 40-something year old car, and it has the engine swapped. This is a driver condition car, not a Pebble Beach Concours competitor. The car gets much attention and inquiries every where I take it. I have the title free and clear, this car requires NO SMOG in CA due to year of manufacture. Although the car has some age, the hard work is done to make it a daily driver, much of the old-ugly has been wiped away, and is ready for the next stage of fixing or just driving and maintaining.
