its a cable brake chassis, with a OG front beam. Im sure there is somebody with a 52 standard on an IRS chassis titled as a super fat chick that would like to put there car back to more OGness as it does have the numbers and plates?
would that not add value to there car, turing it from a hacked up split super fatty to a real Split window? _________________ Fritz Custom Products

with a whole lot of wrong parts. $15K for the right buyer who wants a split-zilla. Been for sale a long time, waiting for the right buyer with deep pockets I guess |

Yeah I really don't want to be a jerk, but $42.5k for what the seller describes as a "gutted body" with a later pan and a bunch of later parts, when you can pick up this badass 50 for essentially the same price, or CHEAPER with no wheels or engine:

this is one of the most ridiculous sales-pitch ads I've read in quite a while. 1600 engine/late trans and 15" wheels are more desirable than a 25hp/crash and 16s? I don't think so.
70 grand for a hodge podge standard missing pretty much all of the valuable and unique parts? ooooookay.

So they re-located the coil to sit right by the exhaust?
So it's like a coil heater? _________________ sent from a phone using poor grammar and spelling |

and is that the oil fume hose going into the fan housing...that coil is classic - oh look there's a hole in this bit of tin ware that the coil can sit in, yay!
having just read the whole ad - am I right in thinking 1600 engine and cable brakes... |

I believe Lenny provided the seat material but a highly doubt he would completely forget how to install them. That rear seat bottom and front seat backs are installed by someone who is good with slip covers...The whole car is BS |
