Gave Rick a Call. Bottom dollar is $4500.00. Been in storage in a barn. He will also have title in hand within the next month. He has quite a few extra parts for the car. All original glass is there but the side windows are coming apart. He got into contact with a company in Canada TRD that says they can reproduce the glass. Also a 70’s and 80’s Jag rear end fits nice in these things with VERY minimal work. He seems to know a lot about the car and planned to do a lot of work himself but being 60 its time just to sell.
