Front clip, top, and running gear were gone. Some of the interior was already removed, like seats and carpeting. Custom deluxe. No AC, and I didn't see any radio wiring other than for the antenna and the single center front speaker. Originally a manual transmission, was prepped to be converted to automatic, the clutch pedal and all clutch related stuff was removed, and a B&M floor shifter was installed. Originally a 305.

Has a good (great?) wiring harness. Only problem I saw was one of the rear light wires was frayed, which is an easy repair. This is complete. PO had all engine bay wires zip tied out of the way (not cut!) so I was able to remove EVERYTHING already, complete. Fuse panel, plus the connectors on the engine bay side. If you need the 305 ESC computer, holder, and wiring, I'd throw that in. $30.

Custom deluxe dash trim piece. Two posts broken off before I removed it, however it didn't *appear* that they made it loose. They were not near each other. $5.

Instrument cluster. Manual transmission, has a black apparently factory installed sticker over where the gear selection would normally be seen. All gauges. Can't vouch for it working, but it appeared I was the first to have ever removed it. 140K miles on the odometer. $15

The tailgate was manual, but the crank is broken, the tailgate is cracked, dented, partially disassembled and rusty, so good for nothing but parts.

Small gas tank (25 gallon, right?) sending unit, should be good. Fuel lines are apparently all there. Shipping.

If there is anything you need that it might have on it, let me know, and I'll check if its there. Any little bits or pieces, otherwise it will probably get scrapped. I got it for the frame, and the body is garbage other than perhaps if someone wanted to cut the rear sheetmetal for patching.

Edit: adding the shift indicators. Sorry the pics suck, all three are in good shape, one OD one missing the needle, one is a 3 speed piece. As long as you pay shipping, make whatever offer you are comfortable with.

Sorry, no tach. I have yet to see one in anything (stock) other than 1981 or older. Don't see them in my '85-88 parts manual.
 
It had a manual column, can't recall if tilt or not, I *think* not.

Pretty sure I'm going to hold onto it though, sorry. You looking for a manual column?
 
Whats the condition of the fuel lines? Any pics of where the hard lines connect to the sending unit?
