Cool picture,  very artistic.   You could almost plunk that car in your livingroom "as is",  and have a really cool art sculpture.

 

Too bad it wasnt all original,  look at all the old body filler!

 I hadnt really noticed the bondo! I enlarged the picture and it looks like its half an inch thick on the door. I suppose this car would be the equivalent to a hemi roadrunner over here. It certainly wouldnt bring that kind of money on this side of the ocean.

 I told my wife the same thing, it looks like a piece of art...

....something you should want to see on display in a museum.

It's going to be a  nice car once it is restored, powerful too, that 3.8 had 265 HP.

I think we all have probably overpaid for something we really wanted.
