This was the project vehicle of a very good buddy of mine named Derek, who passed away a little over a year ago very unexpectedly. Derek was an amazingly talented man who would go to any length to help a buddy. His wife Joni, has reluctantly decided to part with it. As you can see it is a very nice original body with good parts to go with it. Joni would like to correspond with any interested parties via email to begin with. If you are sincerely interested she would be more than willing to answer any and all inquiries. If you are only somewhat interested; have only a portion of the asking price at your disposal; or have any other "deals" in mind, please don't waste her time. She's a fantastic person who wants to see her car go to someone worthy. Joni may be reached via email at:

derekandjoni@telus.net

The car is located in Prince George, B.C., Canada which is about 10 hours north of Vancouver, B.C. Do you have an idea of how you would ship or pickup this car from where it is, making the process as easy as possible for Joni?

Derek was an amazing craftsman and the project is off the hook for quality.
He's sure missed by us car guys.
