I bought this car as a shell with the intention of turning it into a radical race/street car. I'd begun collecting parts for a Stage II motor for my GN and realized that almost the entire car would be replaced to meet my goals. I figured I'd better find a car that was cheap so that I wouldn't cringe over cutting it up. I love the Rosewood cars so I went looking for a cheap Rosewood project TR.
Here's what $2500 and a trailer to tow it home buys you!
It came with a rebuilt short block and all the parts...though most
of 'em were in the trunk. :) I sold everything I didn't need: the
motor, trans, rear end, interior. I made a profit of approximately $1k
over the purchase price...but don't worry, we'll spend it on the motor!
