@psonderfan ac was removed when engine was installed. I do have the removed parts and will include them with the sale.
Does the air conditioner work?
@driventexas the motor work was completed in 2006 when the car had 77k miles at a shop in Peoria IL called Kauth and Mayeur. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Beautiful looking car. When was the rebuild completed and who did the work?
