There is no data plate/trim tag on the firewall.

Nice catch on the trim tag.  But it does have the backup light delete plates. I think at that kind of pricing your obligated to show some underbody pictures.

Seriously, ok I'm more the hot rodder than the restorer but even I can see this isn't a class act. Worm clamp hose clamps, gold anodized exhaust manifold, interstate battery straight from JC Whitney. Am I missing something or did someone waste a ton of coin on a restoration.  :dontknow:

Looking at the pics......and the 23K ACTUAL miles......leaves a lot of room for discussion.....lol.  Other than the story and the fishnet it looks like a pretty nice car. I guess I like things to be a little more original if it is being advertised as restored,but I can also see where some people could spend that kind of dough restoring one from the EZ chair. Just the research and replacement of worn out pieces(with the wrong ones)adds up fairly quickly at most shops.
