    I heard about a coupe the other day so I went to check it out and ended up buying it this morning. I have to go pick it up in the morning, Everything is there except engine,Trans and front and rear axles.

    For some reason they put everything in barns except the body,

    Very cool. Even for being stored outside it still doesn't look that bad.

    At least they kept it out of the dirt. That is not a bad body & the decklid looks salvageable as well.

    Good Luck.

    Congrats, lots of parts hunting, several thousand dollars, and few years of building and you'll have a cool hot rod. You already knew that didn't you?:)

    Yeah, The door is off the car and the hinges were saved (NOT CUT), Trunk lid is real nice and is actually one of the reasons I bought the car
