I'm not sure he understands the terminology. And seriously, if he were looking for an original to restore he wouldn't be looking here. Those trade above this place's pay grade.

To the OP: You really are looking for an unfinished "kit". We'll expand the term to include some "scratch build" projects but all of them area to a more or lesser degree a collection of parts on the floor of the garage or in boxes somewhere.

The degree to which some of the "some assembly required" work has been done seems to be what you're looking to vary.

You can get true kits - a pile of parts that you assemble the frame, body, engine and everything else. Or you can get a finished roller that has frame, body, electrical, etc. that has everything done except the engine/transmissions.

So where in the spectrum are you looking?

A hint about leftover "kits". Most of the ones discussed here are so old that the parts have mostly in the hands of the second or third (or more) owner, are incomplete in both parts and paperwork, and represent a money pit worse than a boat.

Good luck.
