Yes: Prices look a lot better at BJ than they do on EBAY by the look of it.

What has surprised me some is how well the customs have done in this one. 

they seem to be gaining in popularity

Unless this V code convertible was a total rebody,  this was a STEAL at $70,000 + auction fees!!!!!! Nice ones usually sell for around $400,000.

Color change, poor quality restoration and 5 speed transmission don't help 
But I agree, but it for $70K, invest $100K in a proper restoration and you're still ahead of the game

''Upper cowl panel replaced during restoration.''
Probably means body number on cowl doesn't match the VIN on paperwork...

Sounds like a poor quality restoration using another shell or parts of one. Even today, replacing an upper cowl with an AMD piece, you would always take the time to switch the number over from the old cowl.
