was it clear-coated? how much effort to wetsand through clear coat? I've never done it. Just wet sanded paint without clear....

No it wasnt clear coated. The paint on the red car was probable done in the mid 70's. They may have clear coated the flames but doubt they did the whole car and even if they did it was with laquer. Anyway if it was mine I would try to do everything I could to preserve as much original paint on that car that I could. To pay 185 for a car that needs a resto does not make sense. However if you could make it look like a nice survivor thats a different story.

I know that removing unwanted items over original paint is possible. Same goes for undercoating. It all depends on who hits the BIN....

Nice car. I would love to get my hands on it and fluff it. Here are some pics of my original paint HO with dead paint. We did a light wetsand and buff. Its not perfect but its still original paint. You can see the difference in the one shot between the fender and the hood after we did the hood. Much easier to do on a solid color

Very nice SD, lots spent on resto and it shows. Am surprised he has not tried one of the major auctions companies yet. I wish mine looks that good.

Ok so this is a 73 Survivor with 11,850 miles what is wrong with this picture? If the mileage is correct then why would you need replacement tail pipes on such a low mileage car? I have a few cars that have 7 times that mileage and only then needed new pipes. I guess that the price came about by dropping the first one (1) in the mileage and then adding three (3) zero's. 11,850 miles becomes $185,000.00 works for me!
