This car was complete when I first picked it up. Even the tail lights were intact. The problem with it was it was parked in a shed (yes a real shed, complete with dirt floor) and it sat there for years. The bottom of the car rusted away (galvanic action) and the squirrels & mice moved it. There is a 3" layer of shells and mouse poop on the floor. They chewed on everything. I'm not saying the car couldn't have been saved, but there are better candidates out there.

I always liked the design of the flat 8. Dual water pumps. Exhaust wraps around and what would be a dual becomes a single. Generator mounted on top.
