A little rusty?

This is being sold by Dennis Collins?

Yes

[trotrof1]

The exterior aside, Why would you not recondition the engine bay aprons before engine reinstallation? Is this done for effect or budget shortfall?

[shelbymann1970]

So tell me is this car a survivor like the posters( not the seller) keep saying it is? Only original once blah blah blah. I've owned true survivors and  a good friend has a few true survivors right now. When you repaint the whole underside including parts and areas that never got primer. Add a DNO drive shaft and such is it still a survivor? I'd say no but want done input on this.

[trotrof1]

I would think a survivor would be untouched except for necessary mechanical upkeep and cleaning. I would presume to be an unrestored #1 car with much patina throughout.

Owned by Dennis? Must be the "Holy Grail"............

Looks like it was hit hard in the left front. Picture of the left front suspension shows the inner fender apron wrinkled really bad. Also wonder how long the fuel line will stay up missing most of the retainers on the floor and axle vent stretched so bad its rear to rip. Both lower rear 1/4's were blended in and the left had the lower section replaced.

Shouldn't there be some Lime Gold Overspray on the Floor Pans, it looks to Brown.

Were you expecting a concours restoration from a flipper?

If so, we could spend a couple hours judging the car

However my first glance tells me we are missing a few parts.

And many incorrect build details on the restored aspects

[Mikelj5S230]

This just looks like a neglected, rusty, piece of junk. How BaT could label this a "Premium" auction is a travesty.

[S412gofast]

"the underside was coated in red oxide primer."  right over the clearly visible severe pitting across the underbody!  maybe this is more of the "Survivor patina"....lol

[JD]

The "Premium" doesn't refer to the quality/uniqueness of the car, it's the level of BaT listing the seller signed up for.

[Coralsnake]

Maybe someone will correct me, but arent "premium" listings paid for?
