Wow, now thats nice. Great colour combo. Was the red interior there from the beginning or did your friend change it to red during restoration?
Looks amazing.

All that work, just to turn around and sell it?

I guess he hasn't learned that you don't get all you restoration money back, and shouldn't expect to, on a flip.

I don't think it's clean enough! That being said, to the correct buyer that is a beautiful example and well worth the money because as teahead and rwolak allude the labor costs to do that work far exceeds the asking price- but the seller can't recuperate the labor costs and is stuck with the raw value of a near perfect car. I say near perfect because they painted the plug on the air cleaner snorkel

A 72 doesn't have that rubber plug, those came on 2800CS

Daham it! well, they painted the little latchy things too that hold the air cleaner on- I have to find something! Chris, I have a 74 and it has the big rubber plug on top of the hot air riser- was there something unique to the 72 or is it more likely that my air cleaner came from a 2800 as well?

Thanks- always learning.. but forgetting faster!

2800, it was an access point for the mechanism inside.

Yeah my thoughts exactly....I used to do the same thing though with motorcycles. I would save something from near destruction at the local recycler, only to turn it into a show bike. Once done, I needed money for the next project. It is kind of a sickness. If I had the space and extra money I would never sell. I have neither. Therefore, once the satisfaction of turning what was destined to junkyard eternity into a pristine build, it was time to move on the next save.

It's a sickness, so I kind of understand, but this looked like a lot of work, I tell you what........ I never sold with 0 miles after rebuild. I sold once I road the crap out of it but still looked amazing, then I sold. Get some miles on the gosh darn thing first....geeeze...enjoy it a little.. My lord.
