Plug covers are gone ( I asked) That filter was just used with a pail of gas to start it when I was buying it.
Front clip was good. Quarters were good. No interior, dash ripped apart, wiring harness in tatters and Flintstone floors. Trim was not bad. Car is...

I bought a 354 Hemi that's sitting in a 1956 St. Regis. It's running which is nice. The car was too far gone so I made an offer on just the engine...
