SO back up for sale it goes! 1975 Cosworth number 1938. Bought near Chicago, however have birth document that shows California car. Body is nearly rust free ,clear coat is flaking . has some door dings and scraps and surface rust but otherwise in great shape. DOES NOT HAVE motor ,radiator , gas tank, pump, computer and some dash parts are missing ,windshield is cracked. DOES HAVE body ,4 speed transmission ,most interior and all 5 cosworth wheel ( need refinished ). 1 area of concern is near the steering box it appears to have had some minor collision work done however all body parts seem to fit as they should and doors close soundly. Car pictured is what you get + rims , any pictures or information needed feel free to ask. I purchased it as is and selling as is i am unable to restore or use it for parts and am trying to recoup some loss on my purchase. I have no other information on this car to pass along. AGAIN feel free to ask any questions or ask for any pictures before bidding, car is located in west Illinois (Moline) just minutes off I-80 . I will not ship however I can help load it.

It's getting a high revving destroked 327. The first one I built was tubbed and not street cruising friendly. This Cosworth came with the payment when I sold my firstone a few years ago. It's nice to meet you and I appreciate your knowledge. Sent by Justin Smith from Iowa through Facebook Messenger 5/20/15 to John J. Cowall.

I'm working on #138 now. It had timing belt trouble when I got the car, Pistons were hit, it last ran on fuel injection my other cars all had Weber's. I got it running on the fuel injection, idles a little high. I had a oil leak in the front , need a sleeve and seal on the crank that should fix it. Another problem is it needs a heater core any ideas on where I can get one or a substitute thanks.
#1943 bought new in 1977 Rusty tired has "aftermarket GM power heavy duty Block" sure!
#815 bought as a rust bucket for parts
#138 bought blown up body pretty good body now runs need heater core.
