I was leaning towards the Inka but Esty reminded me about the nose. The grill can be swapped but the nose...

 

Fjord is quite nice but square tails give my the hives. I love em but it's just my arrogant round tail ego will not let me own one. I kid..it's a real nice car so that's my choice

The Inka '73 is nice but for the $$ it has several important incorrect bits--besides the already mentioned nose panel, the dash is a late one-piece from a squarelight and to be really picky, the plastic covers from the quarter window latches are missing.  The radio is a Bowman Astrosonic from our friends at JC Whitney. I put one in my '69 when it was new so it's period correct, but for $25k you'd expect at least a Blaupunkt or Becker.  

 

It would be a much better deal with the correct nose and dash; the former would be a PITA to swap, the latter, not too bad--if you could find the correct two piece dash.

 

The '75--at least at the current bid is a better deal; while modified, it could be brought back to near stock with minimal work.  

 

Just my 02 cents worth...

The '75 is the better car in my opinion.

 

The Tii has been badly stuffed in the past and up until recently wouldn't have been viewed as a reasonably salvageable car. A nose replacement is no big deal and is relatively easy to do right. The front end collision damage on this one is a lot more extensive and they still didn't get the basic cosmetic nose job right. I'd like to see what the diagonal measurements are like on this one.
