Multiple show wins. Florida bug jam , Buggies on the beach , Volkswagen on the green CO.
Car is located in Colorado with clean Colorado title in my name runs and drives . Original split case transaxle and 36HP motor. Cash , cash or cash. Willing to work with some US banks but car will not leave until money is confirmed. Possible trade for early bay window double cab and cash .

At that price I think they are going to be holding onto that oval for quite a while. Pretty optimistic IMO. _________________ 53 Canadian standard oval

I would have gotten the 17K and had an awesome day.
If my eyes are seeing correctly: front blinkers are off and at a funny direction... probably wrong front fenders. Tail lights are high.... wrong rear lenders, most likely. Rear clip is wrong...

Some consider it a small detail (signal location) but it really hurts resale on both custom and restored cars.
Maybe just give them a fake M code?
