Help on evaluating a 72 purchase
I sold my Orange 72 a few months ago and now Im having withdrawals.
I just checked out a 72 4 speed, underneath & underhood looked good. My other car was original paint so there was nothing to hide, this being painted I ask for your opinions. Not on the paint quality buy on what you see body work wise.
these are my areas of concern
Thanks

Hi pdm,
Since you had an original paint car you're aware of how roughly done the jamb prep and paint was originally.
What I see in the pictures are typical looking jambs with some new paint blown into them without much care being taken.
Prepping and painting the jambs well is additional work and so they often end up looking like those in your pictures.
What the rest of the car is like and how it's priced would influence how much they bothered me.
Regards,
Alan
