The car shown above is the actual car that was part of the RTS tour. It is a one off and a collector item so not comparable to generic old cars. You guys should be happy that US brands are not very desirable for the rest of the world. Rich people from Europe/China/Japan/UAE are not interested in...
Interesting story and also sad that your car didn´t get its original engine back. But on the other hand your gain since it´s not valued as

wow that´s my personal nightmare. My car sits in a shop with 15 others. all carburated cars, space to work on them with welding equipment too...
Good luck getting your money back. You looking to replace it with another Gremlin ?
It´ll be a head turner when finished. Nobody will know what that thing is. Do you still see some Lada or other former Sovjet cars that you frequently see on the roads ? With it´s small and boxy appearance some people will likely mistake it for one those.
