Oh boy...can't wait for the comments on this one. Starting with the jack point, etc. I remember watching the GMG show a while ago when the owner was storting tequila at some event/auction. Fun stuff.

The first season or two of GMG was fun, but it jumped the shark (no pun intended) pretty quickly. At no reserve this action will be fun too.

are you Fricking kidding me Jacking a car up on the engine pan Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
 
I note the trunk speakers are "Factory Replacement Woofer"

No brand of course.... not even a part number.....

Now that is special..... Never knew that was an e9 option....

Nasty shop down in Riverside California did the stereo system...

For a laugh here is one of the audio shops reviews:


"Hello there to everyone. I am here to write a review on this location and specifically for the owner. I had my car at a shop next door (being fixed/restored) and I went to go ask this man about a system. I advised him of what I wanted and he advised that he is almost a documented genius and did not listen to me on the brands that I wanted. Anyways, what he did to me was awful. He promised me the stars and the moon and stated do to others as you would others to do to you over and over and stated that he was going to be the easiest to work with. Long story short, he changed my order and stated that the car called for it and refused to refund me the difference. I called him out on that and refused and got upset and started calling me names (used profanity). I told Alan that it was only fair since my bill was $6,300 plus tax and states he only takes cash. He then refused to let my car go unless his bill was paid in full and did not even finish my center console which was part of the bill. This man is evil and like everyone knows and says that Karma is a bitc*. This guy will get his with authorities and he is getting older and he will get his with a crazy customer because I know he does this and not only to me. Stay away and look at the messages he sent me and I told him to not offend me. If he did something to you report him as this will be the only way of doing business. This guy is either his way or the highway even when he is in the wrong."
 
Is that clamshell typical for a '74? I have a repop from W&N I believe that looks more like what I had on my '73 Bav. Looks later to me, maybe E12? Referring to pic 129.

EDIT: Nevermind just saw Chris’s tool thread. Late Sept ‘74 it changed to the one pictured.

Why do people who obviously don't know what they are talking about feel the need to say something to the effect that "it will take a little sorting but then it will be a great car."

Do sellers on BAT hire cheerleaders to say stuff like this?
