There looks to be a nicely refurbed and claimed to be originally a '74 2.0 LE "Bumblebee" listed on eBay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...em=330111476018 Says Otto's in Venice did the work; big enough windshield sticker to that effect. I sent a question to the seller, but so far nothing back... Did the LE's not have the vinyl rollbar covering? And, was the rollbar trim painted black on the original cars? I know we have some experts here who can comment on such... Mostly, I was curious as to whether the fuel lines had been replaced with stainless, and how much rust was originally in the hell hole and longs, and did they add any chassis stiffeners when the car was redone. Maybe we can get the seller to chime in here??? |

Before I bought my Phoenix Red car, I checked this one out and spoke with Otto. It's the one advertised for 25K on the AA website (has George ever updated that site??). If this car had rust, it's all gone now. Apparently this was a project that kept his mechanics busy during his slow times. Everything, but everything, was redone. Otto has extensive pics, he sent me probably two dozen.
From those pics, I can tell you the car looks absolutely great mechanically. It wasn't especially clean from a concours standpoint, but it was very, very nice. From the current eBay pics, it looks like it's been detailed much more. He told me he was just trying to recoup expenses. It may be pricey but it's an awesome ride. Paul |
