Hey todd,
What is the paint condition like? I emailed the guy. Any idea if the 5-lug is just redrilled stuff? Thanks- Jamie
Earl Scheib would be ashamed of the paint job. Huge sags and runs, and it's old enough that there are chips going through all three layers showing the original Palma Green. They did paint everything though... it looks like it was stripped to the tub at one point for rust repair and paint. Car is originally from Colorado, and has been a garaged car as long as he has a history for it. Hell hole was taken care of, but they just used sheet metal, and not factory repair panels. There is still a small rust hole that was painted over in the top of the suspension console. The jack points are deleted. There is a big rust bubble on the drivers side just ahead of the rear wheel. front trunk floor is dented up just a tad from hitting something, not a big deal. Seat bracket are drilled through for sport seats, but the pan looks good. Trunks have minor surface rust. The 5 lug is redrilled 914 stuff. The engine is unknown condition, pair of 40 IDFs, and the guy said there are gremlins in the electrical system... and the harness is painted over. The speedo is a silver button 120mph unit, tach and gas are correct late gauges. Dash has an additional gauge to the right of the column (don't remember what is was), and a center console. Dash pad has typical cracks. Corduroy interior is okay... no tears, but kinda scruffy and dirty.
Overall, probably a decent project for someone, but not for a resto.
