    Wow.
    Gorgeous.
    I wonder how much the 100 year old guy took for it.

    Maybe I'm a nudge, that car is nice but no perfect original.
    Stevie Wonder could look at it and see it's not an original car or a complete resto.:D
    I want to see the before pics.
    A car can only be original once, that means all the stuff it rolled off the line with, especially the paint. That car has been painted and messed with.
    The paint job is nice, otherwise it's amateur time IMO.
    The interior is very nice because nobody messed with it too much, never seen a hundred year old guy put speaker boxes in the back though?:confused:
    Somebody took a spray bomb to the engine and undercarriage, check the shot of the rear end.:( The guy crawled under there with a couple of spray cans of gloss black rustoleum and taped the nozzles down and walked away, didn't even bother to scrape the grease off the front end linkage.
    He would of been better off leaving it alone.
    My car is 10 times nicer than that underneath and the body is just as clean, paint is too, maybe cleaner depending on what that looked like before.
    It's an original restoration, not an original.

    I'd take it.:D

    I'm Speechless

    Nice Car,
    But why a PRIVATE AUCTION? I mean none of the bidders are ever
    revealed in any auction on Ebay anymore anyway. So, why make it a
    "Double" Private auction??? Any ideas...

    I have to agree, in part, with BV. This car should have been left alone. I would bet my cappy that this car has been repainted. And, the spraying haphazardly around the under carriage is an amateur attempt. Why not leave it? Maybe the old guy did it? Doubt it. I'm not knocking this car. It's a beauty. But the guy should not go on and on about it being totally original. I would like it better if it WAS original and an honest car. Just my :2cents:.

    Sadly, the definition of "original" has been diluted to anything not cut up like swiss for custom stereos, lifted and bagged for 20"+ wheels, slammed and painted flat black for a rat rod, or rebuilt from a total burn.

    It's getting tougher to find "original" anymore.

    My Gran Torino is no longer "original". I changed the AM radio for AM-FM. Put LTD II hubcaps on it, then CVPI center caps. I have now swapped in a '72 351C engine. It's sitting in the shop awaiting an AOD transmission now. It won't be original. It is mine and it will always be mine, so I'm making it the way I want it.
