Car has typical minor Fox Body rust in shock towers with new drivers side floor installed. Convertible top worked before car was parked and disassembled. Needs a new top but have the original rear window glass.

Car is as is where is, NO warranties expressed or implied, clear Kentucky Title which will be transferred before car leaves. I’ll be happy to help load everything it all goes!! Engine is on stand(see pics) you can keep engine stand and rollers that car is on as well. Car has potential to be an excellent example of what is fast becoming a hot collector car. Reserve is less than cost of parts.
