Sorry, I don't but basically, the interior needs to totally be redone. The panels are there and are in pretty good shape, as is the console. but it will all need to be put back together, everything is kind of just thrown in there. Also, if you want, you are welcome to come see the car.

I am thinking about it...I like it. Its different and I have never seen something like this before. I would want to fully restore it but my hot rod side says v8 it... :lmfao:

You're right, it is a very unique car. I think one of 2 in the state that I have found.

As far as a V8, there is nothing wrong with doing a resto-mod, however, I personally think a V8 is way too much power for this car, I mean if you think the car is 1400lbs total with all internals, a V8 might be a little much. I think you would be just as happy with a large 4 or a small 6. However, if you buy the car, you can do whatever you want with it and decide as you go.

The fortunate thing is there are a lot of options as to what you can do with the car. If you do buy it, I can put you in the right direction to be in contact with all the guru's of this car as well as give you some excellent sources.

Someone needs to buy this car! It's an awesome template for a ridiculously fast car.

I'm probably relocating to Texas in a month or so. If you do want it, I will work a deal out with you. Give me a deposit on it now, and give me the rest before I leave, or you could give it to my mom as the car is at her house.

Let me know. Couple hundred bucks to hold it and I will wait on the rest.

I'll make a deal, I am selling the Datsun for $2200 and the Lotus Europa for $1850 which is $4050 for both. If someone wants both, I will cut you a deal and do both for $3750. If you are in the metro Atlanta area and you add another $100 I will deliver both to you.

Congrats on the sale, I just saw a pretty nice one driving in Athens, I guess he's local he parked at a church. Sounded strong and looks good. These are cool cars.
