$5,700 seems a bit optimistic.
No engine or transaxle but otherwise seems complete.

Based on the dash, it appears to be a very early fed-spec Special built between the end of August and the end of October 1972.

US$5,700 ...??? Depending on the condition of the chassis and suspension it surely must be worth that? Get rid of the wheel arch extensions and over here (UK) that would be a good buy - (if right hand drive which it isn't) - interesting engine cover vents. Wonder what happened to the badges other than the front roundel?

Same car on CL I posted a while back. A big price drop since then.
