My buddy owns a body shop in the area, and has a collection of classic cars (mostly MOPARs). One of his friends got wind of this find and let him know, he went out to PA and bought it. From what I know, the car has sat all this time. They flushed the old gas. The engine runs and sounds good (they were running it while I was there), but it seems the diaphragm in the fuel pump has disintegrated, as its not pulling gas from the tank.

I hope the guy who bought it will drive it. It begs to be driven.
