So much not even close to original gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "restored by renowned restorer." So much for heated storage too.

Its a shame when you look at it the work seems to be done well its just all done wrong. If the engine was Gold and the parts black and the interior was done correctly it would be a nice car.

Obviously the car is following the blue and silver scheme to everything. I guess you could clean up the engine pretty quickly. Redo the dash and door trim to spec and the interior would look ok from there.

Body and frame look nicely detailed.

The attention to detail ranges from generally good to poor and some past efforts are failing. Look at the coil and distributor. The steering wheel color is wrong and so is the hub. I wonder what happended to the wiper control. Is that a fuel filter I see above the tail pipe? Yikes! Shocked

Is the brake pedal missing or just not visible?

The paint work on the chassis appears superficial with rust starting to show in channels where none was applied. Nice bit of rust on the muffler and rear shocks for a car that was stored in a museum.

I think bidding might just tank close to where it's at now.
