Beautiful - but horrible indicator side lights - is it still the law to have to keep them in America?

Alan, missed you at Legends, saw Sven.
Good luck with sale.

What NAV unit is this? I was wanting to do the same thing.

Does it have audio too w/turn-by-turn directions? Does it go through the radio somehow?

Awesome rig for sure!

 

[alanmcg]

ipad mini, running google maps, connected to audio system via usb - so yes, all audio from all apps goes through radio/audio system.

 

[teahead]

Nice. Was thinking of a Garmin or something like that, but a tablet will work (obviously)!

Thanks and GLWTS! Beautiful car! Too bad you're selling her.

CoupeKing sells these wheels with two finish options. They will polish the outside of the wheel which is what is shown on this car.

Beautiful! I've always liked your car. It checks every box, so I'm a little surprised by the price - seems like a steal. GLWS.

That is a "proper" automobile!

 

[alanmcg]

just fyi, car is now on consignment with Park Place Ltd in bellevue (and per above they list it on craigslist, hemmings, etc). i can no longer sell it privately. i wanted to offer it first to forum members at $79k obo but had no offers. Park place listed it for $85k.

Looks like a very nice car - did not bring a bid on eBay but I am sure it's a matter of waiting for the right buyer.

They seem to be referring to Carl Nelson as the CoupeKing which I assume is not accurate. It would be good to clarify who did what work on the car.

minor oem assembly / design issue.
on the 74 where the ceiling grab bar and the interior light are.
there is mounting and framing members in the roof that create a seam of projection in the headliner when the parts are installed.
so i inserted a 1" spacer to hold the front bracket away so no crease would show.
