SOLD 8/10/19 - thanks to all for interest!

Price drop to $9,500 - cutting $10,000 off the ask due to lack of interest and PPI issues. Price is for car only - no longer includes spare parts, no longer includes cover which will be sold separately.

At this price, you are getting an imperfectly restored car with 400 hours of welding work completed, 400 hours of bodywork, paint prep, and new paint, all interior parts, Fuchs rims, powdercoated suspension, and all hardware rebuilt, completely assembled and ready to drive. Or, part it and profit.

PPI findings copied and pasted below. PPI was performed by A&P Specialties in Portland. Can't link to the online document as a potential buyer's info is included:

Body and Frame
Technician Notes

Car has been hit on passenger side at one time, passenger door is a little off. This may need a body shop to further inspection. I don't see any issue with the frame at all. Various small dings in pictures below.


Miscellaneous Items
Technician Notes

Oil leaks!, Engine case bolt on driver's side seeping oil!, Oil sump plate minor seepage, Silicon sealer was used on most gaskets even push rod tubes!! They aren't leaking at this time. Drivers valve cover has very minor seepage may need to be re bent.

Transmission rear mount points on housing itself have apparently been re-welded for some reason either the transmission was out of a car that was potentially rear-ended or there's some clearance issue!, Pic. 1st gear grinds at slow speed down shifts the syncro and or the 1 st reverse slider may be worn.

Just listed my 75 2056 on CL.

I want to thank everyone on this forum for the help and support over the years. This restoration took me 6 years to complete, finished in 2016. I've got too many cars and too many kids and I don't have time to drive or maintain this one any more.

https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/d/p...6937155236.html

The car has about 1000 miles since the completion of the restoration and isn't even broken in yet. I'm happy to answer any questions. This is a really hard one to part with, but it's time.

I see a big problem.

I don't have room for it!

Nice car and good luck with the sale, looks like someone is going to get a good one!

I know we shouldn't comment on ads BUT...someone is going to get a sweet deal?

Instant gratification. Buy it, fuel it and



Oscar

Looks like a great price and a great car. GLWTS.

Oh my I love my Copper metallic and this is super nice!! I I had not just bought the Maserati we would be having a serious discussion. Super job on yours and good luck, and I hope someone on west coast buys it as I’d hate to have to compete against it over here - just kidding, kind of,
You are NOT asking enough for it with a 2056. This should be listed at $40k minimum- been offered that for mine and turned it down, Haggerty insurance said I should not insured for less that $50k to cover replacement.
You need to double price -

Phil

You are possibly right. I'm motivated to sell. I'm also super appreciative of this forum and would never have even gotten started on the project without 914world help.

The offered price remains $19.5... for now.

Someone had a question about the electrics.

If anyone else has questions about parts/process/specifics I am happy to find receipts, send pics from the restoration, send current pics/videos.

"Soft" entry lighting in the footwell:

Parking lights/headlights/high beams work. Emergency blinkers work. Cig lighter works. Wipers work. Wiper washer converted to electric - works. Cabin light works. Turn signal - new switch - works. Horn works - I relocated it under the dash cause I was tired of accidentally hitting the butterfly button. Easy to switch back.

All gauge lights work. Clock works. Voltmeter works. New VDO temp gauge and sender; aluminum billet taco plate; no leaks at all. Backup lights work.

Stereo is absolutely killer. I totally overhauled it after the resto as I wasn't satisfied. Alpine head, alpine main amp, Kenwood sub amp, footwell (invisible) sub. Designed to be HEARD at speed with the top down.

Rear hot air blower works. However I disabled it as it was noisy and did not improve cabin airflow. Heat is great even without blower. You can totally drive this thing in the winter. I built it to be a terrific grand tourer.

Fogs don't work. Haven't troubleshooted as I don't use them. I’ll be looking at them when I have a chance as I want this car to be totally trouble free for the buyer.

Defrost light in the console isn't hooked up.

Rear trunk light is there but needs replaced.

Engman LED fuse panel. Never blown a fuse.

Odyssey PC925 AGM battery with group buy fuse block on the mains. (That's a refurb emission canister on the left - all new charcoal and lines).

To answer another question - SS fuel lines both in the tunnel and engine bay - of course!
