John, I just saw that. Replacement engine kills it for me. I would have been interested in restoring it as it is a genuine 'piece of history' (the most over used term in collecting) if correct and complete. Can Gil find what the original engien number was? Put it out there..maybe by some miracle, it resides in a members car or garage.

At that time the car was 50K but there isn't much left. The original engine is gone and the rust is terrible so unfortunately what you would be buying is the VIN in the door jamb. It is very sad as to me this may be the most important Letter Car ever built.
