 :thinking:  Or you could go straight to the top and contact Charlie Lillard and or Kevin Oeste ... who are kind of the "faces" of the enigmatic The Brothers Collection.
Cheers!

Tis' better to have owned classic Mopars and lost than to have never owned at all (apologies to Alfred Lord Tennyson)

Or not, and let everyone else have a chance to buy it.  Maybe someone here on the board?

Thanks so much for the info. Interest in the car has been strong and already Ive got bids over $100k, so I know its going in the right direction. Will be curious to see how it ends up.

If any of you know anyone that might be a serious player for it, please have them contact me via email at bugnbox@earthlink.net

If I had the money, I would send it to Mike Ross At BE/A.  I own a small collision shop, But I don't have the equipment or the resources To do a car like that the way he can.  :no:

Great car but not for me. To me it's no good as it is but it must be restored to the ultimate as delivered condition which would render it not suitable for driving. So I'm sure it will be off to a museum to be enjoyed by viewing only.

I agree with you.  I've given more than a bit of thought to this car, and IMHO, it's just a bit too far gone for the patina look, which means that it really deserves an OE Gold type of restoration.

Otherwise, repairing the filler panel, slapping on a fresh vinyl roof and putting in some used '71 buckets would certainly help with the acceptability.

I'd take the $100k offered and run....... 

Is this car really worth >$200k restored?

Well, the Titanic survived.....on the bottom of the Atlantic.....

70% original exterior paint is one of the parameters I think, So many service replacement parts to keep it running is another. It's a Corvette thing....

Remember when the "Corvette guys" were trying to stop other people from using the word survivor... :rofl: :rofl: :crazytalk:
