and the question is why does a 6500 mile car need a repaint?

Not stated by seller, but I think he is representing paint as original.
First factory cloth (non-plaid) seats I have seen. At least they should be factory with only 6500 miles on the car.

Still has the sticker on the horn button. Nice. I'd be afraid to ever drive it.

It's missing the clock, looks to have a pressure gauge, and has a 73 temp gauge. Unless they switched back after 74. Seems wierd for a 6500 mile car.

I spoke to the 2nd owner last year. I was going to purchase it until I discovered it was repainted. From what I recall, he said the one door was scratched, so the 1st owner had the whole exterior resprayed. Looked like a very high end job from what I could tell in the photos that were sent at the time.

Hmmmm. Maybe that explains the seats, guages, etc. There must be a story here somewhere.

Don't miss the 4 tip Monza muffler.
I agree it is a very nice looking car, but why a new muffler after 6500 miles?

That is a really nice paint job that's for sure. I would be able to forgive it for being resprayed with paint that nice. But thats me.

I hope the bidders know for sure what they are bidding on. That car seems to have several differences from my original 75. That vin is 5000 later than my 75.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Something smells a little funny here. The 'whole story' is obviously not being told.

When I spoke with the owner last year, he was very forth comming. Spoke with his mechanic as well. Maybe someone can give him a call and see. He had the car up north for a while, then moved it to Fla.
I no longer have any of the coorespondence or pictures.

seems corduroy seats inserts were offered in 75; option 705 for black. pg. 91 johnson book

I would be pissed if I bought that car and then found out it had been repainted! The seller is obviously trying to hide that fact. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I emailed the seller at the start of the auction to see if he had the original exhaust and dealer installed radio. He said no radio and he would check on the exhaust, but never heard back.

It's a beautiful car, but I agree that the whole story and facts might not be disclosed. Is a 75 1.8 really worth 18k? I could understand if it was all original, but it obviously has parts changed and the undisclosed repaint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/busted.gif)

Radio...it originally was a POS...I would unbolt that original and replace it...no question the stereos of the 80's and 90's and 2000's were much more advanced.

Muffler..its a 34 year old car...do you think an untreated muffler should last that long? When you drive a car is creates moisture in the muffler..then they rust...even more in a car that only is used for short drives and then left to sit for months...

Those two items are bolt on replacements...piece of cake.
It think its a very nice example of a rust free clean car.

I wish mine was as nice.

I'm curious why no engine or chassis shots. And is it just me or do the quarters look pulled. Look at the clearance between the tire and the lip and the roundness of the panel.
