And what is a Euromerican heating system? And a Mistro cam? As I read the ad I was waiting to see "new metal from Tunafish cans."

On a positive note there is no handbrake between the seats.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

It's not the worst thing I ever saw, but pretty overpriced. It sort of has the graceless lines of an early Glockler. Or something I drew in study hall in 8th grade.

Reminds of the cars you see come out of places like Cuba, where they have some pictures in a magazine to go off of.

Totally agree about the windshield, but other than that I like it.

Not sure what 'wrapping' the 'tudes means, but at least there's no rust hiding under paint.
I'd go, oh, $30K, given what it costs to finish it.

He has bolt on clamps on each side above the windshield corners, so no worries of it flying off.

Re: one has to wonder
I like it but not at that price. I'd just clear coat it inside and out and drive it as it is.
