Wait.... so they took a numbers-marching car and effectively ruined that, then think they can get $250k?



Yeah, ok.

Well, have you seen what Resto-mods are drawing at auctions. Plus it sounds like any modernization they did could be undone.

Seems the included the Moss gearbox, although I'd bet it isn't really usable. They all go bad in first and reverse, and there's no parts available to fix them. A better, from an originality standpoint, fix would have been the 4.2L all synco gearbox. Can be used with the 3.8L engine by using the earlier bellhousing and the 4.2 clutch plate with 3.8 pressure plate. Fits the 3.8 shift lever so the only way to know inside is reverse is in the other side. Not big on the grill intake paint, but to each their own. Get mine back together it'll be the original black paint with red leather.
