Thank you. Hoping to find a US buyer; hence the listing here first. But alas, I also had to do Pelican this past weekend. Not sure what to do with it afterwards - not crazy about Ebay.

I think this car has great potential and if I was you I would address a few minor things to get this presented in the best light for a six figure car - well worth the minor investment - good luck with the sale

Would be interested in knowing what items you think I need to address - would be helpful to have your opinion. With ALL the mechanical stuff done, AC done, and interior looking very good, I wasn't sure what else to do prior to sale. I wasn't going to address the body issues - too large of a nut.

Honest advice always welcomed.

GLWS i am sure you will miss it, but who ever buys it will surely get a great car. I really hope it stays in the US !

Brian - with the rust issues it might be a matter of price and not addressing anything - however if you want some suggestions aside from body work here goes IMO - will help bring it up to a six figure car - take them for what they are worth - in no particular order

Thanks for the input. To me, the car was very original when I got it and I love original. Mechanical items always get a pass because very few things can be originally mechanical and still function properly. I agree with you on some things on your list, but I would hate to ruin the car's originality while completing the other items. All the lights, bars, Fuchs, etc. were all done that way in 1969 - it's now part of the car's personality. Perhaps your right on a point that you didn't quite explicitly make - the top dollar value cars are restored, no-longer-original cars - which is a shame in my opinion. My S Targa is a great driver; I don't think I'd ever want to see it perfectly factory restored and know all that cool history was erased. I'm an odd-bird, I guess. For example, the Yacht Club stickers on the front window make me giddy - love them and they're not even mine.
