    Hate the front bumper, hate the steering wheel.

    It always amazes me when I see a car that has such beautiful paint, that they ignore the little things, like cleaning up the rear seat, or painting the dipstick handle.

    Anyway, hard to imagine getting more than 10k for that, as nice as it is.

    It is a very nice car.

    I like the steering wheel, I'm looking for one like that actually. I just don't like the cheapo Wall-Mart cover they have on it. I suspect that it's hideing some problems with the padding on the wheel. I also think the car needs to sit a little lower and I don't really think the shift knob matches the rest of the car quite right. I am also not a huge fan of the bumper being the same color as the rest of the car. Also don't really like where the tach is mounted.

    Jamie ... hold off on looking for the steering wheel. I have one in perfect condition with a Maverick center logo. If it works out with the other steering wheel we can work out a trade or something ...

    It is a nice looking car...saw it in person this past weekend. I think it's probably worth between 9-10K but not the $13 he's was asking at the show where I saw it for sale. There was a wet spot under the engine which I'm pretty sure was coming from this car also...could be a front seal???:huh: Still nice and I wouldn't mind owning it...would be a nice addition to my 71 collection.:)

    When I first saw it, I thought it was yours. Then I looked closer and saw the differences. Scared me at first though. :huh: Preston
