i bought it as a winter car, didnt run…put a new ecu in. It now runs and drives. The only problem is that is needs a muffler and it stalls when not moving. I wanted to see if it would be worth selling or junking. I dont have the time, space, or money to deal with it anymore. I still have 2 other projects sitting in my garage

good cover

I would see if you can get anyone to buy it off you first. If not then HotRodKid’s suggestion is the way to go.
