The one in progress was complete to the point of being in primer but the interior was not complete.

It was driven for a short period of time until a long haul trucker saw it parked at my place of employment.
He made me an offer for it and next thing it was on it's way to South Carolina. Seemed like a lot of money at the time but it went for $700
