This car is still for sale. They put up some better photos and replaced the burn out vid with an idle vid. Same price, $35k. Too bad, but I can’t justify buying it. . .

I don’t think swapping it back to original (more original) body work would be that hard. Unfortunately, wrong time, wrong place for me.

That looks like fun.

Yes, I’ve decided getting a car from someone retiring is probably the way to go.

My quick observation.
Yes. Exactly.
The previous owner will have done some sorting out, frequently reflected in the price.
What is not done will give you plenty of opportunity to be in in the garage.
I guarantee you'd have plenty of opportunity to upgrade/personalize.
Just my experience.

Best of luck.
Cheers - Jim
