Better with or without chrome wheel arch flares?

Fjord, no flares works.

View attachment 40396 Wow, Dan good company, your car looks just like mine..... No arches, not on fjord anyway.

Beautiful car but seeing it in that salt air is like seeing a two year with a hammer next to a Ming Dynasty vase.

Don’t have a lot of choice, the ocean is only a couple of hundred meters away, but don’t worry I wash it regularly....

I was trying to be a bit silly with the assumption that you drove a distance for the picture but be careful with your car around the salt air. If your car is kept upwind of the prevailing winds and the ocean in a garage that is a plus. Downwind of that salty haze coming off that surf is something to be very diligent about.

In the US a 73 3.0CS was close to $14K, when the last 74s were sold in mid 75 they were closer to $18K due to the exchange rate.

Just as a point of reference, in 1970 I had an Olds 442 convertible, 455 cu in, Hurst close-ratio four speed, loaded. Invoice was $4545.

Series 3 e-type is bargain of the in this line ip

That list jogged my memory. My uncle bought his Interceptor III in late 73, from memory paid around £7500 and was torn between that and the AC Frua Coupe. CSL in the UK was a similar price IIRC at the time. Sold a house and put money on top to buy that car!
