1971 Cutlass Supreme $50k

I would think you'd get a correct rear bumper and wheels for $50,000....Price seems a little steep, no?

Well, if you read the ad, he does have disclaimers about what's been done and what will come with the car. Maybe it comes with a 'real gold rocket engine'.....Yeah, I don't need to pay his mortgage off. Thanks anyway.

I kind of like it in a 1970s kind of way but it proves the point it takes as much to restore a 5k car as it does one worth 100k. Just because it cost a boat load to get it how you like it doesn't mean its worth a dime to someone else.

While not the colors I'd have gone with myself ...
That's not really my issue with it.
How about the Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y of it ?.
Am I the only one that thinks the paint looks all funky ?.
Mis-match - shadows - clouds ?.
I honestly don't feel there's a deep enough luster there to create much of any reflections ... that I could be mistaking for those issues.
The reflections in that car are very minimal.
I'd be questioning the quality of that paint at a $5K price tag for that car ... let alone $50K
For $5K one would expect thinning original paint that's seen better days ... or perhaps an older re-do & accept it without issue.
But for $50K & supposed new paint ... it's just isn't sitting right with me.
My apologies if that's just some really bad photography .....
But it sure looks like a questionable job to me.
Or I am just in the dark on some new "fad" of cloudy-shadowy silver paint finishes ...
Similar to the flat/satin black paints that seem to get a lot of attention these days ?.
