    At that hammer price it didn't seem to matter in the end, but I'm with Jim...too dark to determine precisely what was not done correctly. Love the $200K+ number for those of us who have like cars.

    So much replacement stuff the restorers should be embarrassed, dash pad alone is as far from "exacting factory specifications" as it gets.

    Even the radio is wrong. Interesting how few photos there are of the engine and trunk details, but many (duplicated) exterior shots.

    I'm sure the buyer is obliviously happy with his new acquisition.

    See the catalog pics... http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/2480...ngth=10&page=5
