Not to be picky also, but on a half-million car..
I wouldn't expect to see a spot of rust anywhere.. Calipers should be redone to factory finish. chipped/flaked paint on the engine underside air baffles. Was the front suspension significantly different? The panel that protects the steerig rack and master cylinder doesn't look right; it only has 2 bolts. I agree, the rear wheels look 'lost' in the flares. Sadly, as a car that was originally sold specifically for racing, this one will spend the rest of it's life as a garage queen, only trotted out for shows. |

I agree in general but rarity and desirability is everything. This car sold for $230k and i think i spy some rust lol Attached image(s) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) approx 150K USD. sure was rusty though. saw that car. aussie rust but. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) some one did their maths on that one and figured out it was worth it. and it probably was. it was all there. rusty or not. there was profit in it. and income. there is a speedster down here. a right hand drive delivered. all original. and i mean original. its not restored apart from mechanical upkeep. beautifully faded. reportedly changed hands last at a mil aud. it never goes up for auction when it switches owners. i've seen it once or twice. some rich chinese dude owns it at present. nice enough guy. brings it out to coffee runs occasionally. no trailer queen. gets driven to its outings. |
