This car has been for sale locally, and been listed at least three times on ebay since I first saw it.
I looked at it somewhat closely in person about 6 months ago.
It is a real 340 car and the resto work looks to be top notch.
Most of the parts used even seem to have the correct plating and finish, like the cad plated brake booster and attaching hardware.
Here's the rub-it's a factory FY1 top banana car, but they painted it "Viper yellow", painted the bumpers and light bezels black, and put a 70-72 stripe on it.
This car is so clean you could eat off it.
My question is this- why the hell would someone spend the time and money to do 95% of the job to minute correct detail, but then "ruin" it with those three decisions.
I know there are probably more things wrong, and my intent is not to pick the car apart, but the asking price was $17K, and it's been bid up to 14K and not met reserve.
I think if it was the correct color, they might have a shot at 15-17K.
As it sits, to me, it's not even worth 10k, because the first thing I'd have to do is dissaemble and repaint.
What say you all?
