Buy it now. $365K

BIN changed to $385K

Well, that makes sense.  It didn't meet the reserve on the other site, so I'll jack up the price after reposting...twice.   ::)

BTW - after reading the eBay listing...how does one complete a "sympathetic" restoration?  Does this involve a good friend with skill who takes pity on you as the owner?  :P
Nothing beats a classic!

No, it most likely means that on lookers after a closer look take pity on the restoration job. ;)

Might be a west coast or enlightened thing where you don't speak poorly of the car in its presence.

Terms like cutting, yanking, tossing, removing and such are not used in relationship to it's restoration.

Continue to remind the vehicle and yourself  that your sorry that its come to this, your only trying to help, your doing your best to extend its useful life and so on.......... Be reassuring    ::)

Jokes aside, I think a "sympathetic restoration" means new paint, maybe some rebuilding of mechanical systems, but not a total disassembly, rotisserie type, full systems touched restoration.

You're probably right. And, Jeff and Bob's responses were quite entertaining!  ;D

I now have a sympathetic appreciation for the car.
