another BaT special

That creation is FUGLY! A serious frankencar. The Vin says its a late production 750, the body says its a 101 made to look kinda like a 750. That interior is just horrendous. The dash gauges don't belong, and don't match the car well. Where did all the chrome and stainless go? It will be interesting to see what it goes for. I'm thinking >$30k.

^^ Agreed. Such a nice shape, but without the brightwork it looks goofy - like the body shop never finished the reassembly. Wrong nose, hodgepodge body. Shallow Panasports don't fit this car IMO. Then low profile square tires and that huge tire gap. All wrong.

<EDIT> $40k... "Reserve not met"? Seriously?

Can I repost this car?

I'm gonna repost this car....

lol. after a few weeks of no updates, it was like going through heroin withdrawals. its been so long now, I feel like I must have checked out of Betty ford.

every time someone posts something in this thread, I always have that little hope its Will throwing us a progress report.

I do have to say that the thread latefan posted a couple pages back about the gtv6 is pretty fucking awesome though. this is what I would do if I actually screwed up the courage to buy one of those.

I intentionally avoid coming into this subforum for a reason. Today i was caught unawares...bastards : )

I'd love to get back to work on my car, but I keep getting pulled away by people offering $ for me to fix or sort their cars. I'll make a dedicated effort to go work on it next weekend.

Used racecar FS.....

"Being a top-spec 1750 Super Sport model, it sports a 1750-cc twin-cam supercharged straight-six, a shortened chassis, and lightweight bodywork. The SS models were the pick of the lineup for racers around Europe, taking two overall victories in the Mille Miglia."

A 1929, remodeled to look more like a "new" 1935..

some nice ones there. the step nose in the first pic has those wheels you "love" so much.

[BlackbirdM3]

All the GTVs had those wheels aside from the 73 car that has a nice set of ATS wheels. Good thing I blurred most of them out ;) The two Sprints were on Panasports, the two TZs were on TZ wheels.
