I just forwarded your craigslist reference to the Bring A Trailer website.
It will be interesting to see if they feature the car in the next couple
of days.
Good luck with it. I downloaded the engine pictures as a restoration
reference. I know the dist. cap and plug wires have been replaced but
most of the features are obviously original. I could not do that car
justice by owning it since I don't have enough garage space. I doubt that
many people could either.
Regards,
Joe
