    No 5 lug Dennis, that went in the yellow car, I put the 4 lug in there so I could still move it around.

    Allen, it was a drag car at one point in its life.

    If anybody is serious about any of those parts you may have them for the shipping. The decklid has a pc of heavy metal welded to the inside and holes where the zues fasteners are, that is why I didn't save it. The 14" tires have plenty of tread but I don't use 14" and they are on 4 lug wheels, and this car has to be movable so I can get rid of it.

    Doesn't weigh enough to get any money from the scrap yard. It does have 2 3sp trannys in the trunk which helps.

    The door are gutted, there is not much but the shell, they even cut out the panel that holds teh window cranks and door handles. Guess they were cutting all weight.:D

    Bob, wish you lived closer because the tires are not in bad shape but not worth shipping.
