I'm always on the fence about selling it.

The car is located in Lancaster, CA. It's definitely a project car, but it has so much potential. At the very least it needs a new battery, it's possible to jump it and get it started, but it dies after falling below 2,000 RPMs.
More Info:
Plus:
- Complete California Special interior - not in bad shape at all but could use a good shampoo. Only one or two penny sized tears on the doorcards.
- All original, even down to the glass - every piece is original OEM with no nicks or cracks that I can recall. I believe the wheels are aftermarket, though they are pretty cool.
- We bought it from the original owner's family.
- Such a beautiful car!
- The engine that's in it is a replacement. The original owner drove the first into the ground and then had a new motor installed with ~160K on it now I believe.
- Rust free with the exception of the trunk.
- The chrome window trim around all the glass is in beautiful like new shape.
Negs:
- Car has been repainted with a cheap paint job. Looks good from 10ft but chalky in some areas. We were going to strip it down and repaint. Original color is cream white.
- Two rust spots on the trunk - getting another trunk would solve this, or you could probably fix with bondo http://forums.turbobricks.com/images/smilies/nono.gif or if you are good with a welder .
- Would need a DS door - weld broke free from the top frame to the bottom and it wiggles. Could probably be welded back.
- B21 need a wiring harness. The car will run if you keep on the gas but not really driveable - only just to move it. If you leave the key in ON you will start to smell burning wire :(
- One of the buttcheeks is mashed up. You can't really notice by looking but someone landed on it going up a driveway or something. Could probably be fixed with a BFH.
- Side trim on the DS is missing for the door and back portion of the car. I might be able to help someone get this as I go to yards that have these era 240s.
This car is a good candidate for a motor/trans swap and has a lot of potential, especially if you keep the interior the way it is. I would love to see someone restore to original California Special status.
Asking price is 500.
