FS: 74 raby 2056 narrow body, well sorted Options

[lotus_65]

thanks for looking at my ad!

i've owned this car since 2002 and it's been a blast. i've got a little money in it and it's pretty well sorted with a few minor exceptions.
first let me say it will never be an original style restoration. she's had some major front bodywork from the previous owner and the original engine has been bored and stroked. all in all, it's a very solid car, ready to be enjoyed as is for decades to come.

currently, she has a fresh 2056 engine with dual weber carbs in it.

$8000

she'll come with some parts that, while not needed for excellent driving, are important/interesting maintenance/performance parts, including a headlight rebuild kit and a front sway bar and an excellent bike rack solution.

it also has a very rare aamco interior console that is highly coveted by enthusiasts. also h4 headlights, euro rear turn signals and upgraded LED gauge lamps.

there was very minor rust in the important area that leads to the death of many of these great cars when i purchased it. we stripped, ground down, cleaned and patched the rust with german steel (not fiberglass or any other bad solution), then coated the entire area with p.o.r.15. since these cars usually aren't driven in the rain or snow (much, at least), this should never be a problem again. the next owners will surely care for those trouble areas, so this is considered a permanent fix. Also, there has been welding done to the rear suspension ear on the passenger side... again, save poor maintenance or ignorant operation, this is fixed effectively forever.

to do list:
it does need to have an electrical bug traced. it doesn't affect the operations, but just drains the battery slowly. The carpet could be replaced, along with some other creature comforts improved if desired. lastly, it was repainted before i bought it with a dark gray metal flake on top of the factory olympic blue. i added yellow to the bottom to replicate the bumblebee limited edition '74 just because i like the look, but honestly, it's a pretty poor paint job, and i was deciding on putting gt flares before repainting- i'll be happy to let the next owner decide this option.

i do not need to sell it. i have another project i would like to do, but i can enjoy this car for many many more years if i don't get what its worth. no matter what, the effort put into a car like this pays dividends every time you climb behind the wheel.

many more pics to come~
