Wow, looks good! Five points though:

1. The rear bumper looks dented and warped??

2. Are the front vertical bits on the bumper on the wrong way?

3. Are the seats recovered? I didn't think the stitching was like that originally (seatbelts too?).

4. Missing a chrome cap on the passenger grab handle?

5. How much of the 10k goes into your pocket?

Can you elaborate? It almost looks painted.

1. Yes, you're right. That does look a dent. I went over the chrome quite closely and the fit on the rear bumper seemed excellent. It's gotta be the light.

2. Aren't they always?!?!?! When I lifted the hood and heard them rub, I was like, "Oh no, not again!"

3. None? I do it for the love, baby! It's a community. We have to make sure these things go to good homes and hold their value. The owner set his price based on his research. I don't feel it is out of line.

Yes, the valve cover is painted! I open the hood and went, Huh? Owner says the shop owner did it without asking. Kinda stands out.

The last question was a bit tongue-in-cheek mate, dont worry. And by no means do I think 10k is too expensive! Looks like a good deal to me (apart from the strange looking shifter).

[Zvoiture]

Yeah...I'd feel a lot more confident about the price if it were a stick. But there seems to be a decent market for the '73 autos. Another '73 auto just sold here (San Luis Obispo car sold to someone back East) nearly identical to this one. Orange, repainted, pitted chrome, almost 200,000 miles, exhaust leak, flattops, seats re-covered, so-so carpet job (over the diamonds), fairly well cared for, but rust in several more areas and quite a few more dings and not too much care about what kind of parts to maintain it with. $5000. So go figure. This car is worth twice that, don't you think?

This car is absolutely beautiful. I love the steel wheels and hubcaps. Man, that car just looks great. I am in love:love: . I really hope this car gets a great home. Zs' definately look sporting in red.

-Ben:love:

p.s. I really want those wheels and covers.

[Zvoiture]

Looks like it is going to get a VERY nice home...out of the country.

After months of negotiations, the sale has fallen through on this car. It is available again.
