Drew, I actually have a couple of these available.  One is grey and the
other is in primer.  The grey one I would sell for $500 as it has been
repaired and worked over by my body guy and is ready to be painted.  The
grey one is not perfect and might need a little work.  I would want $300
for that one.  Let me know.
