restored not even close.
Underhood-medium blue paint in many wrong places. Wiper system gone.
inner fenderwell bolts missing both sides. Non original colors everywhere.
hacked up wiring & cheap chrome everywhere. hood not fit to close properly
Interior- console pieces missing. Hang on gauges. Blue overspray in door
jams on latches, lite switches and kick panel trim. Doorlock buttons gone.
Outside- Front bumper twisted and bolts missing. Motorcycle horns shining thru grill. Headlite doors tacky. big dent in right rear lower corner. Back
window trim hammered & loose. Back bumper is lumpy and wavy. 6 or 7
holes chiseled into upper trunkseal channel. Inside trunk is a mess. Blue &
spatter paint on latch. Blue wheel tubs. That's what I can see from 1500
miles away. The cost for me to do a quality restoration on every thing I've
pointed out would be 30,000.00$ minimum. If this is the kind of work You
Guys are willing to accept at todays Shop Rates,I'm working way too hard
to please. Sorry, that's the way I see it.You don't have to aggree.

I don't think anyone here thought the car was a concours restoration. The point was $7500 doesn't buy much anymore in a first gen, so even with all the flaws you pointed out that is a very low appraisal.
