    FS. Nice '66 in Houston

    ... no affiliation... nice for those looking... price is a little high though, but that is what negotiations are all about right?

    Is it just me?

    Or do some of the gaps look a little weird...

    1. Driver's side tailight
    2. Passenger door
    3. Hood badge is new (non-orange bar...)
    4. front fenders?
    5. Passenger side horn grille
    6. major rust on cylinder barrels (??)

    Besides the S spoiler, I'm sure there's more...

    anyway, I wish this seller best of luck.

    It's not just you, Thom. I saw this car when it was at Zim's Autotechnik (check out the invoices in the photos) having some mechanical work done recently.

    If you think the gaps look off in the photos, you should see them in person. In addition to what you mentioned, the right inner rocker panel has at least a one inch gap among many other faults.

    I would place the value of this car many thousands below what he's asking.

    Compare photos 4 and 5. You'll notice two BIG problems;

    The relationship of the bottom fender lips on the front of the quarters to the leading edge of the tires. There is at least a two (2) inch difference in the gaps
    between the outer edge of the tires and their respective fender lips.

    Note the positions of each tail light in each fender .... the left tai light fitment is not correct.

    Who stood on the tailpipe ?! ?!

    Drivers door B post has been replaced (hood pull 'hole pocket' not there).

    The car looks a 'little' slapped together with the best stuff from the Automotion catalog.

    I love the spare!

    Great color though and shiny chrome wheels. For that $$ range, I'll take the (ex Tom) German listed 67S, Thank you.
