    What do you folks think of this being offered for the second time on Ebay?
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2453891124&indexURL=5#ebayphotohosting

    Before I even get serious about this...is not the window and windshield trim supposed to be chrome on these cars? Does the rear spoiler detract from this one? Can I notice an unusual gap in the front hood (bent?) to fender just rear or the passenger side headlight?

    Any advice or if any knows this car I'd appreciate hearing from them.

    Thanks..

    Looks promising although I'd get a PPI and see about those Webers. You may be looking at big bucks if it needs more than a tune up.

    Wouldn't buy it, questionable restore work on the front hood vs. front headlight bucket. Overspray on rear quarter window gasket, must have done a bare metal strip with the frigging windows on. Sounds like a crappy job. F-nameplate on rear bumper looks ridiculous as well as the rear wing and the brightwork has all been altered. Carpet and interior do not indicate 45K worth of miles. My 75 interior looks far better with 72K on the clock. Eastern cold climate vehicle location isn't such a good thing either. Pictures on engine compartment indicated original coils and shocks. A 76 will need an immediate rebuild of the entire suspension. Big bucks for that. Ask me how I know and did it myself to boot.

    I have bought and sold my fair share of cars. A rule I live by when buying a car I'm going to keep for awhile is "If a car needs mechanical work and the cost of said work plus the purchase price of the car will total {or come close to totaling} the same year and model of another car that is in fine shape, you must buy the car that is fine shape."
    This car has too many question marks for me to buy. I would save a little more money then go after a car worth alittle more which has a cleaner history. IMHO

    Thanks...I'd have to agree but wanted to be sure I was not being too cautious. Probably why it remains unsold.

    Zero bids means zero interest. There is always a reason.
