Thread: 1060 mile 73 E

    I love this car. Still. But the driving video posted makes it sound as though it's not as healthy as it ought to be.

    The pic's of the amateur engine stamps were enough to have me stop reading. This car is nice, but with the complete rotisserie respray, engine number fudging, the interior color swap, and the aftermarket rear seat delete, there is nothing left of the originality.

    gruen911, it wasn't original when we got it (MFI had been replaced with carbs, seats were black instead of brown, front bumperette delete, AC), so the decisions to deviate were made by our client.

    I must again stress that there was no implication by us this was a 1,060-total-mile car when this thread was made, nor is there any implication this is currently a ~1,271-total-mile car. Our clients have the option to begin their restorations afresh; some do, some don't.

    This is a really nice car. The client who commissioned the restoration couldn't bring himself to be the first to ding, scratch or chip the paint, so it had to go away despite his sizable investment. It appears that no one has really taken advantage of the fact that we build every single car to be driven, which is a shame given the amount of effort put into the mechanicals.

    It's back for sale with us and those of you on the email list just got the flier. Amazing how little wear the now 11-year-old restoration has, but it has also seen so few miles (it's now at 1,872) that I suppose I'm unsurprised.

    I don't understand it, but I never have. I don't have to preach to this choir, but these cars are best enjoyed from behind the wheel. I really hope the next owner will actually drive the darn thing.
