1971 442 convertible fully restored

This is my dad's car. Was restored in 2011-12.Was purchased from the original owner a few years back and was a AZ car all its life.The car was stripped to bare metal to find virtually no rust at all.Early built lansing car with flat fenders. Originally a viking blue car and steel hood. Low option, but correct engine, trans, carb, 3:23 open rear etc. All are vin matching original. Fully rebuilt engine, a/c converted to 134 and has been in a vacuum since. All new top interior, suspension (original springs with stamped part #'s and born with spiral shocks were re-used. Pictures show it was restored head to toe and was a frame on restoration totalling over 550 hours. All original metalis original to car and floor pans are perfect as is trunk. I have photos to doc the resto showing all lower areas were rust free. An original hood was used as well. Car has only been driven sparingly and he is only selling to purchase a more "useable" car from me. He is afraid to drive it now that it has been made nice and is **** about it. Has protect-o-plate and a broadcast sheet was found. (no build sheets in lansing cars) He is asking $49,900. His name is bob 414-303-5316.20141108_1122351.jpg20141108_1052011.jpg20141108_1051291.jpg20141108_1051151.jpg20141108_1050561.jpg20141108_1050311.jpg20141108_1048251.jpg20141108_1048101.jpg20141108_1048002.jpg20141108_1047451.jpg20141108_1047391.jpg20141108_1047231.jpg20141108_1047061.jpg20141108_1046511.jpg20141108_1046171.jpg20141108_1045381.jpg

Wow, what a sweet looking ride. Nice job on the restoration. Maybe Jay Leno would be interested.

Gorgeous car. Glad your dad kept it a bench seat car. Are you sure it is Viking(26) and not Nordic(24) blue?

question - was the over spray in the trunk by design?

Yes. Every lansing built car I own/have owned has been notorious for being stingy on the spatter paint pattern. I have a car currently where it looks as if they just did around the edges.
