Either you will laugh or rupture a blood vessel after viewing this car.

I didn’t even look. I can’t even imagine how (why?) someone would spend that much on a 70 442.
At that cost just buy a Bughatti Veyron.

You read that wrong. It's "$786, 'K?"

Hey, at least the inner fenders aren't repros.

Surprisingly, I'm neither laughing nor rupturing blood vessels. You sound like a bad "remove belly fat with this one old trick" clickbait.

I'm not sure how to spend that much on a restoration. I could put 100k into paint and body, and maybe 50k into powertrain rebuild, but I guess I'd have to buy NOS everything to get the remaining 600 some.

i like one of the comments that is has 71 fenders.which it does.

Good looking car. Too bad that it's not a convertible.

I'd say they missed a decimal. $78.6 would make sense with a 120K asking which is a bit optimistic....but then again a pack of paper towels at BJs is 30 frigging dollars!

The list of my favorite things on this car is endless. I Hate body color wheels on a 70. Leave it at that.

Aw, hell, now you're gonna make me post these...

Let's not forget these body colored wheels.

joe_padavano

Good one!

Roughly 50% markup That's purchasing the car, the parts, and labor to put a car together like that.
So $78.600 is what he has into it maybe before his labor. $119.442 asking price is him trying to make a small profit. Or he's an insane flipper fishing for the moon. It's crazy what a full-tilt resto goes for. 120 USD for a body off frame, nut n bolt resto isn't all that crazy especially if you add in $100-150/hr labor. If it was a rare exotic or a 20s coach-built car you could put another zero on that 120K.

Is the speedo cable supposed to be wrapped around the forward e-brake cable like that?

no1oldsfan

Those are stock exceptions. 🤣😂

Body color steelies completely different ball game.

Nice catch. Top notch workmanship on that point.
