Survivor vs Restored

[RST]

Thanks for all the positive vibes guys ………..

This car was for sale for a long time, any one of you could have stepped up and purchased the car and kept it as is.

Steve, I think the car was priced very fair for what it is, try to find another one in this condition, and the restoration will be much easier. I am sure you will agree, this car will be an amazing restoration and will be worth far more than the asking price ........ and I can drive and enjoy it without worry. This is my car guys, I purchased it to keep and I want to be able to drive it often.

I will post some pictures on a new thread of the car as we disassemble it. Oh and as for being able to document the car ………… as we take it apart, clean it etc., we will document every single part and share it in its as original status, as we have done with several cars that we have restored in order to share that valuable information.

Happy Holidays everyone.

There is a positive spin to this... the listing said &quot;This is the best original unrestored SD we have seen&quot; so somewhere someone is thanking you for restoring this car because his or her second best original unrestored SD just moved up to number one!

I have a difficult time believing that someone would pay more for this car in restored condition than others would pay for it as a survivor, even without factoring in the cost of the restoration. Who am I to say, because it's you spending the money....
