How far are you from I-5?

The asking price makes me cringe because I only got $1450 for this:



I'd started at $3000 months before.

Xist -— More like this:



With this BGW kit, you have to cut out the rear package shelf to let air from under the car to the cooling system. But it has the perfect taper to the stock body length. This sets you up for a boat tail.



The BGW door is about where the open frame former is. Instead of fiberglass the whole thing could be redwood. (sanded and varnished, with cream-colored pinstripes)



Minimally, a boat tail deck with a single rumble seat and nautical running lights.The rumble seat is spaced forward from the firewall to let the seat back fold open, and it's 6-8" higher than the stock rear seat but it would have better leg room.
