FYI-The oil that you see on the right side of the engine is coming from a tube coming off the oil fill cap to the bottom of the engine. One hose from the oil cap goes to the carburetor (PVC), the other tube blows out at the bottom of engine creating what looks like an oil leak. Notice the left side is dry with no oil.

Please ask all questions before bidding and I'll do my best to answer them. I've taken good pictures of all the worst rust spots. There's rust under the battery and rear floor on drivers side. Pretty solid car. I reserve the right to remove this ad at any time. This car is being sold AS IS with NO TITLE bill of sale. A $500.00 deposit is due immediately at auction end.
