It was on Dallas CL for a long time. One rear window is (broken) plexiglass. It may have sat on the ground for a while, that will eat floor and more in short time.
I toyed with getting it but the downside for me would be the work involved. It would take me years.

Maybe not. It all depends on what kind of a restoration or build would be planned. If you had to farm out all the work, then it would go upside down quick.

Interesting.. but on top of the $2800 it will take hundreds of hours & thousands of $$ to restore it. Me thinks it's over priced.

If the car spent its life in Texas, I would think it had leaks or the windows were left down or broken. That is the way most cars here need floors.If you notice one side has the medical cross and the other does not. Could be a clue.

Being it's from Texas, it's Interesting that it needs floors. Also I'm wondering what happened to the V8? It still has V8 emblems on the front fenders.

Gary;
That is a really interesting car. I wonder if it was converted at the dealership or the factory? The only thing I don't like about the Courier Body style is the solid side panels. Bad blind spots when cruising. The side glass makes them much more street worthy IMHO. Pretty good price for such a unique and complete car.
