Sweet! The only option...I would have ordered over the tinted glass, would have been clear glass.

Stefano....is this owner and car from Ohio?

The original owner was from Ohio.

Stefano,

If this is the same owner I`m thinking about, he discussed this car me to at Barrett Jackson in 2009. He tried to sell this car before he restored it (Not at BJ)...I have pics of it before it was restored. I`m sure this is the same person...very rare to have another car like this in Ohio.

What`s your take on the a few of the guys saying that the window sticker is a fake?

Dan.

Let's call it a patina'd reproduction.

It has other real docs and it was sold at BJ.

Post the pre-resto pics.

It was for sale a few times on e-bay awhile back also.

It is a reproduction window sticker. However, all of the other docs with the car are authentic and came from the original owner. It was sold new at Ed Stinn.

I was told by one of the guys who restored the car (Dave Perry) that it is indeed all original drivetrain and components, as well as all original sheet metal. I was also informed that even the carpet is original to the car.

The shifter is an aftermarket repro bolted up to Hurst Linkage.

Even the smog set up is to be original to the car.

This is one of those cars that looks and presents itself much better in person than in the pics.

Very neat car! Why did a 22k mile car need a resto in the first place, and why would someone spend the $$ restoring the car?

This car must have been worth more than half the current asking price prior to its restoration... and the resto must have cost more than half the current asking price? So with all due respect, what am I missing?

Missing is you....Where were you when it was for sale as an unrestored car? You should have jumped on it then! Probably too busy watching your hockey team loose to the Blackhawks!

Now is a chance to own it for much less than what it would have cost to buy it and have it restored.

While it was in great shape, it had some paint touch up over the years and it was a clean up project that went a bit further than the owners had expected. You know....one thing leads to another.......

I've seen plenty of low mile cars that have been restored. It is not what I would have done but many people want new shiny looking cars and don't appreciate patina. Shiny sells at Barret-Jackson. Didn't a killer unrestored benchmark LS6 Chevelle get restored and have stripes added before it went to Barrett-Jackson ? I wonder if it brought more money.

**SS427** · #20 11-17-2009, 01:41 AM

To my knowledge it did not get restored it only had the stripes added which in just about everyones opinion really hurt the cars value.
