nice find
If you do not get this car on the road, I'll help you take it apart and at the same time buy some parts off it for the Ghost II, dash, center console, seats, ....
I am parting it our Carlos, I need to recover at least some of the cash I put in to it to get the wheels (Cathy says I paid too much). I'll send a pm.
Hi Ben, thanks for the offer! My original plan was to use my 84/85 parts to put it back together, I have pretty much everything it would need, although I'd have to build the motor first and I don't have a hood.
But once I came to my senses and took a closer look I realized it will take more work and money than I want to put into it. Unfortunately it has more value in it's parts than I could get as a roller, those red interior parts fetch good bucks on ebay.

80 was the cutoff, so the 83 is definitely an FB. Big question is whether it's a big- or small-bearing car and whether it has an oil cooler up front or was a beehive. Those were the big changes for 83.5
Thanks for the 83.5 details Crit, that's new to me. So this one has the beehive, does that make it a large bearing rear end, the same as found in the 84/85 cars?
Mike, the FB will be on the road soon, I guarantee it. I'm not going to tell you when or how but believe me, it's going to happen. I have people working on it, smart people, not like those idiots in Washington. It's going to be terrific, I guarantee.

Better to get a Metropolitan Mr. Tools, they have higher resale value.
My dad had one (two, actually, with the parts car) and he loved it.
It was a turquoise two-tone, all the rage back in the early '60's:
