The frame needs some work, but is basically very solid. The tag on the
passenger side of the bulkhead identifies it as serial # 36132887. The
number on the engine is 36136049. It's a project, for sure. The
Ontario plate on it is a 1970. The engine is stuck. It has a non
original alternator, the carb is a Holley, the oil filler plumbing
looks a little odd. And, the fuel tank is mounted externally in the
rear tub. It has some dings, and tears, and both front wings are
pranged. Lots of fun!!</smaller></fontfamily>
