I agree. Clean it up, blueprint the l88, and bring if to cruise nights. The car will not lose money.

"I agree. Clean it up, blueprint the l88" ....... As long as the connecting rod coming out of the oil pan didnt take the bottom of a cylinder out.

(302moz) the L78 at mecum that your referring to was a butternut yellow car with a NON matching motor, the seller at mecum stated the suffix and vin was decked for tolerance on a rebuild,(GREAT LINE)so there where no suffix code or vin on the motor I knew of the car years before, but the car did do very well I think it was 94k. so this car with the options and all original stuff, with paper work, (not a lot of 4k cars out there with paper work) should bring in the 120+ range, by far the Most Optioned 4k Hardtop to date with a Great Color

It would be a crime to restore this one to stock. Who wants to look at another 100% stock L78? Yawn. This one has the battle scars and the patina to draw a crowd over any stock restored 4K.

Do I need glasses? This car needs total restoration. It sat outside for thirty years. If that's the case all restoration shop should close.

I'm in the clean it up and drive it camp.

I really appreciate a restored car but this would clean up pretty nice and without a ton of effort and really be a great patina'd car that would draw more attention than a restored car at a cruise night .............and you could drive the snot out of it and not worry about getting caught in the rain or a catching a rock chip.
