Partially disassembled for a restoration nearly 30 years ago, we can all agree that the “body man” working on this car should have stuck to tractor repairs!. In 1988 a complete nose panel, fender patches , floor pans and other parts were purchased and tack welded to the car. The nose panel is the most expensive piece and can certainly be re-used for the restoration. Hood, deck lid are in good condition and are very usable as-is. The bottoms of both doors have rust as shown in photos.
Despite the body condition the car is amazingly complete: As proven by the Kardex the original engine and transaxle are present. The interior has all of its original panels & pieces with the exception of the shifter knob.

The car has been re-assembled for ease of transport. The photos you see with the engine removed were from before it was reassembled. The wheels turn freely and the car will be packed as a self contained unit for easy transport anywhere in the world.
