wow, my car is worth at least 50 now.

What you're missing is what isn't in the ad copy. An original chassis/susp doesn't have shiny paint and fasteners. I'm going to go out on a limb and even suggest that the motor has been apart because of the sealant on the case halves and the newly minted oil return tubes. Also the fan is way over-restored; original mag fans have a distinctively ugly look to them.
Don't get me wrong; this is a beautiful car but it's no longer an original car.
A car with "original" chassis/susp will show up here in a couple of weeks. The differences are staggering. Candidly if I were going to drive a car I would want the restored one.
Figure I'd chime in since someone asked
ENGINE# 6135294
TRANS# 7339951
Also appears to have comfort equipment, but I'll wait for the CoA (hopefully accurate, fingers crossed) before I make any more guesses about options
I was able to walk around and underneath it at the Stable last year, and it is very sanitary to say the least
Fire away!

I`m amazed that silver metallic paint has held up this long.My silver 71T with 38,000 miles had been repainted by the original owner simply because of oxidation.Sam.do you see any signs of this on the roof which is where it may first appear.I also think the fan has been powder coated.Mine looked awful and I had it coated.Looked a hell of a lot better,but that was before I knew it was a 100,000+ car!

It is amazing to think it survived this long. I can't see any signs of oxidation on the roof, decklid or hood. Hard to tell if the fan was powder coated or cleared, but I've attached some photos, maybe you can point out anything you see out of the ordinary. The window gaskets do show some patina in spots and look like they have been on the car a while.
The seller represented it to us as original paint. Our body shop says it appears original and the Stable says they think it is original. We welcome anyone with an interest in the car to come see it in person and give us their thoughts.
It's older brother '69 912 is nearly as nice
