Default Re: what do you think of this car?

Sharp looking car in that color combination...undercarriage shots show some rust on front suspension pieces...could be how it was stored or time since resto???

Always best to have a &quot;disinterested&quot; third party along when you look at a car...helps to balance out &quot;emotional urges&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Look it over carefully top and bottom...have them put it on a lift so you can thoroughly check the underside.

Here are a few things I saw from the photos:
Blue paint??..Engine hoses have screw clamps, is carb original?, trunk mat looks like it doesn't fit?, aftermarket radio, scattershield, seatbelts...no GM id..aftermarket?...text says &quot;the interior was completely restored&quot;...steering wheel and dash trim around gauges looks worn...same thing with heater controls...has a Hurst shifter...they were vague about engine condition...check oil pressure, exhaust smoke, noises, etc.

I like the look of these early Birds...very sharp...depending on your requirements for &quot;fit and finish&quot; it may still need a little work and $$.

Good luck...wilma
