It's by the Autozone on Ringgold Rd in East Ridge.  Don't get too excited unless you have a type 3 floorpan you can bolt the body to (anyone?).  Anyway, the floors are gone and you might not find any good metal in the rockers or tunnel to weld to.  The body needs a nose, bumpers, at least 3 fenders and maybe a couple of doors.  Its original rear seats are, well, there, as is the top frame.

Now the good: The motor (1600 DP), and trans (IRS) are there and the owner said it ran and drove well and didn't smoke.  It also has the complete gas heater (Das Bomb), which hasn't been tried, but looks good.  This may be worth the buckage if you need the above or a parts car.  He said he'd bring it to BP5 if it didn't sell before then.  He's been to our shows before.

866-8988.  Nice guy, although I didn't get his name.  Seems firm on $800.  Post any other questions here, as I've taken a good look at it.
