Expert 5K+ Posts: 5006 | Wow.. Look at the wiring nest also...that needs addressed immediately. Rip that POS tire off the back.. I can let the chrome engine dress up kit slide... But yes get back to stock outside appearance pretty quick the extra gold took it over the edge I think also. | ||

Member Posts: 16 Location: Minnesota | It used to be listed on the R&R website for $70,000. For th right price, it looks like it might be a solid car to un-blingify and have some fun with. I'd rather fix a car by taking off stuff than welding in a bunch of new panels. | ||

Expert Posts: 2101 Location: Idaho - where men are men and spuds are spuds | What a great word - un-blingify! But in this case, I think that would be about as tough as getting unpregnant. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 628 Location: Lubbock, TX | The car is a rust free body from what I can tell. I was all around the bottom and it has super dry and clean rockers and floors. No sign of any repairs. Black paint is stunning in person, gold is obviously the wrong color, but still high quality finish. Interior is beautiful and very correct. Car just needs to have the engine bay redone and the plating throughout done in the proper chrome. If it were mine I’d pull the interior out, repaint the gold, install a new wiring harness, and then re assemble. It’s a great car that just needs some de-cluttering. -Peter | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1116 Location: CA | Wah.. I'm happy to read about what is and isn't right about this car aside from what I can see for myself. Not everyone is familiar with these cars. More information is better than less. | ||

Agree - and I am not "ashamed" about not knowing everything about every car that is referred to on this forum. 100% same here. I'm a purist when it comes to my cars and the ones I love to see done well. I'm not afraid to do alterations which are stock-consistent but I like all of these cars even the ones which are dramatically altered regardless of what I would do. Had I been looking at one it's much better to have this information available. I have no apologies to make if these "nit-picks" ruffle any feathers.. that's too bad as not all "nit picks" are the same. | ||

I looked over the car and the paint is awful on it. This car shouldn't have sold for more than 30k, no clue what buyers were thinking. I was blown away the car was even given a Friday placement, more of a tuesday car. | ||
