Default 1972 Formula 400 Numbers Match Anaconda Gold - Incomplete Restoration

Gauging interest in my 72 Formula Project. Started this project as an original style restoration. Engine, Auto Trans have been rebuilt with mild upgrades. Have all original bolts/brackets for engine compartment and accessories. All of the mechanical parts have been rebuilt and everything has been purchased to reassemble. Including OEM style exhaust(Gardner?). Body was restored and repainted in the original Anaconda Gold BC/CC.

Original car had Anaconda Gold paint with white vinyl top. Interior was white seats/door panels/plastics with black carpet/dash. Not a Ram Air car, but I have original Ram Air Cleaner and Scoop Grilles. Needs hood boots to be functional.

Parts that are needed to complete:
All Glass(I have 4 rear windows, but none are "New")
Lights/Trim/Grilles(I have originals. Restore or buy new.)
Interior Trim (I have trims and plastics from multiple cars)
Interior Seats (New covers/foam needed. I have good original frames)
Dash (I have a new OER dash and multiple gauges/components from several cars)
Tires (Need new tires.)
Wheels (I have 5 honeycombs that were blasted and painted, they are a 7 on a 10 scale. I have 5 NOS center caps)

Body/Chassis is a rolling shell completely assembled and painted.
Engine is on a stand, Trans is loose.

Basically I have everything needed to put this car back together except for the will to do it. If you have been looking for a project and want to start at 70% done, this is for you. I would estimate that an additional $5k would buy everything needed to finish the car with mostly new repop trim/lights.

I would like to get $13k for the car. I have about $22k in it. If you are serious and want to talk, give me a call at 512-964-8525. I could probably get the engine and trans in the car for transport, but it will still be a roller not a runner. You would need a large truck to haul all of the parts I am willing to let go with this project. I have a 12x12x10 shed that is full of parts from 2-3 unsalvageable cars I parted.

I will post some pictures later this weekend.

Thanks,
