Nice, but too much blue

I agree it would be better with a white interior but that is one pretty car regardless. The only thing I dislike is the Home Depot trunk matting.

and the lack of A/C.
It's still a nice vert. Any interest Mark?

couple of things:
1, too much is right, that mint cond original from Bill Pettit's collection only went for 13,500, here's the link to pics of that:

2, that car has obviously been apart, and they decided to paint the eng compartment the wrong color......so you go through all this to make the car look nice, but you change a major detail like that? There is obviously more to this story than meets the eye.
I'd like to see the underside/trunk floor........if the only issue is that stuff under the hood was painted incorrectly, then IMO we are talking around 12K. And NOTE TO SELLER: pictures of the trunk that is full of stuff are useless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd buy any car sight unseen from Bill Pettite's collection.

That Pettit car was surely very nice, even though it was green outside. The white interior helps offset that a lot.

just got a return email.........the fender tag from this car is missing
Deal breaker???

actually, now they just got back to me again.......the owner has the fender tag, just did not put it back on after repainting the car.
the deal breaker is that's it's not a polara, has to absolutely stand out for me not to buy a Polara..........

LMFAO......yes, you got me
This is prob my biggest problem, after I guy a car I keep looking AROUND, afraid that I'm missing out on some other nicer car. I cannot seem to buy a car and just be happy with it.

But it wasnt a outstanding car. You gotta call to find out. If it was outstanding you dont want to miss out

I have a friend thats that way. He drives me crazy....!!!!He finds his dream car then right away starts thinking he would rather have something else... and starts worrying about it. He becomes so indecisive that I just have to leave.....In the past ten years he has gone froman original 27K mile panther pink 70 Challenger T/A.... to a original unrestored 19K mile plum crazy 70 Cuda 440 6bbl.... to a 69 Dodge Daytona.... to a 69 Dodge Daytona 500 4 sp th his current 70 B5 4sp 440 superbird..... All pristine originals.... He does seem to behappy at the moment.
