One of the most expensive resto projects I’ve seen but then again not a model I know much about and interesting history so maybe not?

Original car all used up, original motor gone, dash monkeyed with, corvair engine and box, crashed and rusted. When its glossily rebuilt, starting with those squeaky new seats, how much of the spirit of the original car remains? I’ll keep my half mil I think.

Agreed. I'm struggling to get excited by this car.

You could probably make 100K back selling the steering wheel to Darren
