I'm just saying, assuming that the shop really does have $62k in reciepts, what all was done to the car? There are stories all the time here about people who go crazy, and spend crazy amounts of money that they know they will never get back, because they love thier cars. Maybe this is one.

OP - it would be GREAT if we could see some more pictures of the car, particularly the engine bay, and front and rear suspension components.
Oh I think this was the case. I think the owner loved the car and had deep pockets and just loved spending money on it. I think that's fine and I'm sure he enjoyed it.

I would insist on looking at all the receipts if I were to buy it but I don't have any more pictures and won't have any more. He's a good hour from me and I'm sure he's not going to send me more pictures.

I have been on both sides of this fence, as a 'seller' and as a 'buyer'. There is a lot of strategy in both positions.

As my Dad always told me, "checking is the cheapest part of any job".

I would suggest you offer him a reasonable price based on other 'comparable' 1976 models and let him get back to you. The current market will dictate the price.

Cash is a big motivator. In the mean time keep looking around, there are many 'Stingrays' in the sea.
