$64,595 on Ebay but Wow.
Great color (delphi green) and great interior as well. Supposedly only 13k miles. If it looks as nice underneath, a great deal for this car. Needs better pics or an in-person visit for sure. https://www.ebay.com/itm/154551004844?hash=...cQAAOSwQPtg3Nvd |

I've seen this car in person. It's at Gaswerks in NJ. Shot a little video of it, too as part of an episode I did on my friend's 911...

Hmm... interesting vid. except the rockers don't have "the original textured finish". wasn't a textured finish from factory. smooth satin black. just looked at the full set of photos not original carpet for a brown interior? was salt and pepper brown for loop. its a v. clean car but. restored. |

Hmm...everything I've read on originality says that the front and rear valances and rocker panels had a schutz-textured finish more subtle than the targa top and were painted satin black (except possibly for very early 70's. @pat garvey has done extensive research on this. Clearly this car looks somewhat restored and may not be as original as I was told. But I believe the texture is correct. Happy to be proven otherwise... |

Clearly this car looks somewhat restored and may not be as original as I was told. But I believe the texture is correct. Happy to be proven otherwise... no its very smoothly applied whatever it is, and it could be shultz but not like any shultz i have seen, its more like a super fine orange peel - not like you see most shultz. so smooth as to be almost undetectable until you get right up close - satin not gloss or flat finish coat. i have full original paint still on my car, long time second owner so i have a reasonable thing to look at and go by. we could be talking about the same thing, but the texture on the rockers on the green car seems a way off - too textured. at least in the video. EDIT - maybe its the lighting, see my post below, you get a flash on the camera and it exaggerates the texture in a misleading way? of course maybe it depended on the guy in the factory on the day or the temp in the spray booth. my whole car is very orange peeled! you can always tell the original paint, its actually pretty bad compared to a lot of high quality resprays. |
