Why do you say "unpleasant"? Must have been a work of love, I would guess.
Curious, why would you do all that work and spend all that $$ and then want to sell it? Anyway, I may be interested in the car. I'd make a few mods though. |

Oh i suppose you are correct--Id say it was both for a lot of reasons--inherent to the car hobby is passion, excitement, disapointment, anger, frustration, happiness, and so on. i was not being sharp enough and was ripped off a few times in the 2 year process--so im a little bitter is all. id say yes there are a few mods that would be nice--- bottom line is that its an awesome car. |

Beautiful car. I'd say hold on to it and enjoy it. Values have been increasing. If your restoration is really well documented, I'd say that there is someone out there with deep pockets. And then there is the European market. 30K seems really low. Just my $.02. Good luck with the sale.
