love this part of the description on the ebay ad...
" We purchased a set of like new wheels and tires upon the purchase of the vehicle knowing they would be needed, that is why the vehicle is presented as such. We are in search of an interior if we are successful in locating one prior to auction ending i will post such information. Into this will be up to the winning bidding to locate. "
not very encouraging..they should have just parted it out....

No way. A couple of seats, some carpet maybe, and a set of wheels, she'll be as good as new. All those melted electronics...just minor details any backyard mechanic can fix. Trust me...this is the car for you.
done deal..Bidding...
