I've been building this car for few years. I owned it since 2000 in one form or another. The engine was briefly installed in my W124 wagon and drove for around 3K miles after rebuild. Poured a lot of sweat & blood into it, but lately I cant find the time to work on it. I don't have garage space for it at the moment and hate to see it sitting outside. This will be a pretty fast and nimble car when finished.
Located in north Florida, I will include a tow bar that makes it easy to flat tow it with any car equipped with a hitch. No trailer needed. Let me know if you have any questions.

Asking $7500 or send me an offer.

Trying to move it all together, but if I can't I will let you know. Maybe you should buy it and sell the stuff you don't need after!
