Pretty car, but how can it be "unrestored" if the engine has been rebuilt?

Kool W-Machine, I remember when this car surfaced locally many moons ago. I don't believe the description leaves too much to the imagination.

Not even in my dreams could I afford this car. It has to be in my top two though. Beautiful.

Good point. That term means different things to different people

The term "rebuilt" can mean different things too. If the engine was taken apart and put back together with the original hard parts but re-gasketed and sealed, it can still be all original. With the exception of the valve seats of course.

What is the difference between a pregnant woman and a lightbulb? A lighbulb can be unscrewed.

Hood isn't original as I've heard it was stolen from this car long ago plus you can see inside the scoops that its not original dull blackout with the white fiberglass peeking through like survivors have.

Fewer than 500 miles have been driven during his nearly 11-year ownership.
Nice, but reading that almost makes me think, "whats the point"?
