That would make a worthwhile project for someone. The body looks straight and being in Texas, there may be very little rust. The Weber head is a real plus. I couldn't tell which tranny it has but if it's a 365, that would be even better!

Small world! I think that is the car my friend sold recently. It came from DFW. Not sure who he sold it to.

I just noticed that they rerouted the coolant piping to clear the A/C compressor....would have looked at it closer if I had noticed while I was there. The car is no longer where it was....not sure I they rolled in to start on it or the owner decided this wasn't the one he wanted to keep out of the batch of cars he bought.
