    Needs Work!

    The "Shriner" car - bet there has been little or no chasis reinforcement under her! Certainly interesting though.

    That used to be a fuel injection car. Looks like that was "converted" too.

    Yep, has the bracket for mounting the FI air cleaner. Wonder if they left the "Sprint" manifold in it?!!!

    Parts off the Ascona Convertible

    They probably left the Sprint and whatnot on the car. The auxiliary air valve and clutch fan are still there based on the photo. The car got no bids, imagine that! It's worth at least $75-100 for the parts.
