Why would a low-mile car need that much of a restoration???
Maybe driven in salt and put away wet?

Yes,that is Nate's car.I know anything & everything about that car.I also did most of the assembly on that car.It was bought here new,in Erie,PA.Yes,we use a lot of salt here,and you have to realize that back then these cars were baought to be driven every day,year around,so in less than 10 years,a car could get pretty rusty.That car was parked sometime in the early 1980's,and sat inside until nate got it in 2009.We both followed that car throughout the years.nate posted it for sale,and it sold in 10 minutes.the new owner gave a story about how he really wanted one,bla bla bla,and bought it.Some feel Nate was a little light on the number,but we don't think so.Turns out the new owner had bought it in hopes of flipping it,but here we are 2 months later,and he is still trying to sell it,after posting it on every site imaginable.the car is everything that is stated in the ads.It is one of the best restored 1970 W30 4-spd hardtops on the planet earth.

Well, my 68 W-30 has 27,000 original miles, all applied 1/4 mile at a time. The car was then parked in a field for years and has bullet holes in the glass. It definitely needs that much of a restoration.
