It's not worth much but it should be worth a lot more than a penny!!

A/C equipped no less.   The A/C compressor runs off the water pump pulley I guess.   Usually A/C compressor belts need to be pretty tight, so the wear on that water pump pulley bearing must be severe.

What a mess. The paint job must have been very bad yellow to white.

Worth about $5,000 maximum.

Surely they ran a double crank pulley so the AC belt didn't affect the water pump?
