3) Is it put together - No. You have to pick this up locally and in boxes.

A good deal on this car would be in the low $20K area IMO.

With all of that, add the joy of the "parts are all there". I think I have looked at ~ 10 of these types of cars.. And, although very tempted, I have walked. I would rather find a rotted out, trashed car that is intact than someone else's project.
Good PSA for those that buy one of these cars, thinking "it'll be quick"...

1. Storage. Not only for the car, but all of the parts.
2. Missing parts are not always easy to find
3. Correct parts are even harder to find then #2
4. Nickle and dime parts add up quick
5. SOmeone else's idea of "correct" body work is sometimes much different than "correct".

So many other things to consider with this..

It kills me as I would love a 70 convertible... even a clone... But this one is way too much- both pricewise and project-wise...
