I took a look at the photos...
You would be hard pressed to find another 139-160k COPO which is restored with the amount of NOS correct parts used on that car.
IF it's a 10 10 X11 it would be a nice pick up at 139k with under 5k in parts labor it would score really well amongst pretty high company. A very nice restoration, that I would actually not nit pick too much myself, other than radiator rails, radiator cap, and a set of original seats there is not much to nitpick -
WELL, other than it's confused as to how it should be dressed...
IT's either X11 style trim missing it's wheel opening moldings and wheel arch pinstripes OR
it's a really overdressed X44- headlight bezels, tail light bezels, 1/4 gill trim, drip rail trim.

Here is a breakdown of the major areas.
One of the better restored cars as far as correctness.
If Reggie restored it, it probably had NOS weatherstripping etc installed as well.
1. looks to be mint original door panels, original carpet with the perfect amount of sunbleaching, shifter, shift knob, dash pad, & worst thing about the interior... Late 80's vinyl repop seat covers -
2. The chassis photos reveal correct finishes, 2 piece rotors, correct rear springs, subframe even has the hole for the spoiler rod brace. (brace missing) and it looks to have NOS ball joints, NOS tie rods, NOS Bushings etc, Really nice - you rarely see this on cars in this price range--

Find a set of original seats - and it would be a mint original interior.
Honestly the door panels are the hardest part of the entire interior to find.

The car would score pretty high with a few minor things, (radiator rails, seats, and either trim it as a X11 or as a X44.)
