Car runs, starts, shifts, and stops properly

Car does get hotter than liked and I believe it is in need of a new head gasket, this is included.

Car has not overheated but does get hot, radiator is great, water pump and thermostat checks out so I am thinking head gasket

Original paint on car besides inserts that are faux painted inserts that were painted when the car was bought

This car was bought and worked on for a friend of mine who sadly has passed away due to Brain Cancer. The car is being sold to put towards his wife and children’s future. The car is a great car with great style but we need to sell it. I am an ASE certified mechanic and did a lot of the work to the maintenance to the car over the past 3-4 years including the engine swap and can answer most questions. Please feel free to bid and ask questions. All paperwork and a clean and clear NC title is included and ready for signing over to new owner.

This is a one of a kind car and will sell for much than invested in it.

The car will be sold as is since it is used, it will need to be trailered home because of the cooling issue. The mileage is not correct in the eBay listing but is pictured in listing, true mileage unknown

Thank you for your time and consideration

I work night shift so email or text works best
