I strongly agree with Bob and Don.  Strange that someone went to all this
trouble yet left the engine compartment unrestored and dirty.  About all
they did under the hood was to paint the air cleaners and the rams.  And
like Don I'm wondering what that goofy green gizmo is?  Some kind of
aftermarket electronic ignition??   IMHO, cars like this one tend to get
flipped around through auctions and dealers in search of quick and easy
profit, sadly.  That said, it still looks fabulous, at least in pictures.

Don and all,

I agree, too little time has been spent on the details of the restoration of
this car. As mentioned, the wire wheels are simply not correct, but I would
excuse that if the car came with the original wheels and wheel covers-which
are getting increasingly hard to find. Notice that there is only one picture
of the engine compartment. Many details are not correct. No hood pad, no
trunk lid felt liner, no picture of Trim Code plate. Only 12 made with AC? I
know the numbers are low, but that sounds like a guess to me, and not based
on factual information. I researched this several years back and was not
able to come up with a definitive number. I had three G project cars, all
had factory AC, I doubt that I had 25% of G production with AC in my back
yard. The body and interior work does appear to be pretty well done though,
but the devil is in the details now isn't it?

Hi All,
While this car may be exceptionally pretty, it has a lot of incorrect items
for a car they want all the money for. Wire wheels are not and were never
optional on a G. The engine compartment is a mess of things wrong. Red
heater hoses? That shows a complete lack of research on what is correct.
Hose clamps are all worm style, blue ignition wires, and what is the green
thing by the washer bag? Two of the dash gages are also 62 style. If I had
the money to buy something this expensive, I would at least want everything
to be correct. But maybe that's just me, maybe pretty is all that matters.
