Note the inboard mounted fuel filler (have we seen this one before?). Seats seem toast for a supposedly original 50k miles.

why would one go inboard fuel filler ?????
he forgot to mention 50k miles "odo reading"
seems further OK.. sure if bidding doesn't go up much.....

Located outside Philadelphia.

I've put 65K miles on Athena in 7 years and my seats look better than that.

Theyre Epsilon Southern ways. Aluminum wheels. Look like the old mag BBS motorsports though.

If anyone is serious a couple of us can go take a look. Steve [email protected] 215.620.7687

I have trouble getting my arms around the fuel door delete. It does add a sleek detail to the right rear quarter, but I am not sure how much visual value one would get out of that. That's my opinion, anyway. I also wonder what documentation there is to prove the 50k original miles. The interior would suggest the odo has turned over once or twice in the past 45 years. But heck, it is a sharp car - if it's solid, the value is there.

My guess is that it was rusty and it was easier to delete it by replacing it with flat sheet metal than repairing it.

It's like the optional speaker delete. For me there is something missing. It does not look right to me.

 

[Stevehose]

Or it was dented

no idea, but if you went to the trouble of filling the exterior fender ... why would you leave the hole inside the trunk?

 

[teahead]

I like it. Better fuel door removed than keeping ugly side marker lights

Looks pretty solid. Polaris engine compartment?

No pics of the rust spot

too bad it is an investment and not something you can drive and enjoy...

Ha ha - yeah right.
As I mentioned earlier, this looks like a reasonably solid car. I don't want to knock it down or nit pick it. But I just read through the entire description again and looked through the photos. It just doesn't look like something most would describe as an "investment quality car". That's not to say that I don't think it is a worthy investment - I do. But I am having trouble reading that it has been cared for and is now being offered as such. That doesn't seem consistent with the car's presented condition and list of repairs/upgrades. I'll chalk it up to semantics. I wish the seller good luck with the auction, and think the next owner will likely enjoy the car.

I read that description as a flipper being honest about flipping. Flippers gonna flip!

 

[dang]

I don't think that paint is nearly as nice as it's showing in the photos.

 

[Belgiumbarry]

strange a 50k miles coupe already needs new steering linkage..... ? or perhaps they hoped to resolve the play which is in the box....

Don't think for $22k, it's that bad really.

I always find it better to run an auction with a low starting price and use a reserve, that way you at least get to see what people think it's worth. A high starting price doesn't help you with value if you don't get any bids, unless of course people contact you on the side with offers.

 

[teahead]

I always do a somewhat high BIN price with a "Make Offer" option.
