I know this car
It was restored with the external regulator
Alternator ( should have the internal
Regulator open face type )
I do not know why it
Was changed to the 1972 external
With the mechanical regulator
The car is a very nicely restored
1971 w 30 other than the alternator
Issue and the color change .....

It doesn't get much better than that. Someone is going to get a beautiful car. Usually on a restoration of that caliber you can still almost always count on a couple of items that make you say " why in the hell did they do that" or "why didn't they detail that properly". But I must say they got it all together. OK, I have to say something; I would have a hard time going from Bittersweet to the Lime green, even though the green "pops" more. A lot of time, people judge the color based on looking at 40 year old dull crappy paint and say, I don't like it. I've seen Bittersweet fresh and it is a beautiful color. I know my Saturn Gold as it is on my 71 turns people off because it is a dull 30 year old cheap enamel repaint job, but Saturn Gold is gorgeous when new, especially with white stripes and interior. This car looks so good because of the white contrast. There I have rambled enough, too much wine at dinner.
