Thanks, Ron. The 322/1512, I believe, is a misnomer, as the 1512 website hasn't been updated in years. Could be less, could be more.

Is the 30k all it was worth as a dealer (to flip and make some money) or as in final value? I see you were buying and selling a few cars and your on site opinion is very much appreciated.

I thought it was only worth $30K because it would take about $10K to make it right. The rear quarter lips are very hard to make right because of the indent all around it and then it has to be rolled. Fabrication of the lips and inner wheel houses, prep and paint. Also the rear window was not removed to install the blue stripe on it correctly, the black stripe that separates the red and white was tape not painted on, and the dash was poorly restored. Then after paying tax, title and plates and Mecum's fee, not much left.
