eBay links go to the right car for me, not sure what's with that. I saved the description -
Previous owner is moving back to Texas and didn't want to / couldn't take it with him. He definitely put more into it than I paid - receipt for the reman C5 was $850 installed, and a Discount Tire receipt for the tires for another couple hundred. No other receipts, but my judge-of-character radar told me he was an honest guy, I believe the eBay description as far as work he did to it.
That said, the single engine pic on eBay does show the missing A/C compressor and hoses. It doesn't show all the missing smog equipment. EGR and tubing is gone, smog pump is gone but pipe is still on the exhaust. Hopefully, that won't be an issue - last I checked AZ has emissions waivers for cars with collectible car insurance. That exemption is missing from the current version of the website --

Hopefully that's an oversight (or intentionally left out to keep people paying testing fees).
Don't have a plan right now beyond getting cleaned up real nice, get it up on the hoist at work (I work in a shop) and give 'er a real once over, fiddle with the carb and timing to see if I can get it to idle better. If I can get it registered without dealing with the smog pump issue and slap together a working A/C system I'll probably keep the drivetrain in it and focus on the interior / exterior, and drive it occasionally. If I keep it long enough, it'll end up with a V8 eventually.
