were the rear seatbelts deleted?@Tate a new Fjord car was just listed in Texas. I'm not one of the experts here but it seems to have had a $150K restoration a decade ago, then sold for $100K.

Thoughts?
The photos aren't great (too dark, not addressing many common rust spots) but this seems very nice. The one receipt provided mentions a $150k rotisserie resto and it seems like it sold for $100k in 2014. I'm curious what this goes for now, with the market down.
Also, is the "ivory" leather on the console and dash a factory option, or was that done during one of the two "refurbishments?" I haven't seen it before but I know there were some new color options added in 74. I honestly don't love the interior, but I think...

The exchange rate is not exactly favorable, and tariffs are punitive. If it were a CSL or a 2002 Turbo, it might be worth the pain but it's not. E9s are not hard to find in the USA. Rust-free ones are. And before buying, you might want to consider the M6 or the Euro M635 CSi, they are (at present) much cheaper, much more refined and more likely to appreciate from here.
