From his description he knows what he is talking about. (It's nice to see that kind of non-garbage narrative on EBay.) And a lot of money went into that car. For a "fresh" BB 1973 I feel that he has set the price realistically.
That is a nice car you got there. Can I test drive it?

Overall a very nice car. Not sure I like the white interior-but that's just me. For the work that has been done, the money is not out of line. Why are you selling it?

Ya Mike thats what I meant he's a total Moron he should be shot and this thread should stay on top for 6 more days!!!
And really... does it matter how much money and hours has gone into the car? Many know that these restos are "labors of love", and one rarely breaks-even (most taking a loss) if the car has to be sold.
Hey, I hope the seller can get 30k for the car.

MICKS been a bad boy!
Why is this car on E-bay if it is your "Keeper"? I'd be afraid someone would buy it! I didn't realize it was your car until I went back and re-read this post and looked at your home page detailing further the restoration.

I would seriously consider just putting it into storage for a year or so and then re-accessing the idea to sell. It's not going to lose any money. However if you sell now may be wishing you had never sold it and be wanting to replace it later down the road. I have regretted selling many and tried to recoup their loss and were not feasible to replace or even in my reach at all.
Too nice to sell, I think you were right in your statement that it is a keeper. jim

Not my cup of tea, but .. close
I sort of like it. He has much more than 19k in it. If someone really liked the upgrades and was looking for a "driver" it would be a good deal.
