nice tii on eBay!

As Ty Webb (Chevy Chase) said "I LIKE IT".

 

You can tell that the builder was meticulous.  Right down to subtle Esty carpet.

Agree about the space.  I can hardly get my battery in and out, and it does hamper doing any work in that area of the engine bay.  

 

 

Yes, I agree, bunk.  Putting less fuel into your tank would be a much greater benefit.  

I like the smaller sealed battery under the back seat bottom with cut off switch and Battery Tender leads into the footwell.

Crack-free dash!  Are you kidding me. I'm still looking for a non-cracked lower tray.  I'm almost betting that there is no such thing.

 

Ah...one flaw.  Nonop tii clock.  I still have one that works.

I think the car might be the yellow tii that was for sale at The Vintage

this year. We were both interested in the car.

 

I find it a bit of a stretch that someone could rebuild a 02 to that level in

five months so maybe not the same car.

The seller lives about an hour away from me, tempted to go have a look

just to check out a beautiful car.

This car has strayed so far from stock I can’t imagine why a buyer would care whether the engine was original or not! ?

 

That was my thinking, too.  I kind of liked the idea that it might not have the orig engine.  Made modding it seem like less of a big deal.

If that's 2761003, then I believe it was Bill Williams' Pickachu2, Dakar yellow tii.

 

Geez I hope not.  I didn't know Bill was selling.

Move your battery because you want to free up the engine compartment. Don’t do it for performance. Did I mention the bunk? ?

 

Brace yourself... [brace yourself! ?]

I can promise you that the red interior is much less bright & bawdy in person, probably a deeper, richer, classier red than appears in photos. I’ve noticed this to be the case with many red interiors in cars of different brands...they hate the flash.

Looks like the rear inner wheel wells have a lot of work done to them

+1 on moving the battery to free up space as being the only good reason (and it is a good reason) "Performance" being used in the same sentence with descriptions factory stock cars of the 70's vintage is relative at best. I'm in that dilemma now trying to decide whether to move it on a car pretty much original and in need of copious amounts of detailing.

Umhm.

 

I messaged the seller inquiring for the VIN. No response.

 

Or should I say VINs?

 

[iinca]

It's a show car. something you'd show but not drive so much...meh

 

red diamond tuck and roll...meh. Imagine if he'd used red  accented coco mats

 

grey bumper...meh

 

de-chromed...no comment

 

kumho tires...oh I guess they ran outta' money. Impress me with some Michelins or CN36's  mister flipper'

 

were IE sway bars red at one point...or did he paint to match'?

 

someone put a sh*tload of time into this hot rod... and someone with a sh*tload of $$ might be stupid enough to buy it...emphasis on 'might'. The real money goes to the 'real' cars right?

 

I will say it's a purty nice car if that's your cup'

His auctions always state to contact him directly by phone.

They also almost always end early.

Yeah, true. But I'm not that interested

 

He supplied enough info in the listing for me to make my decision. ?

 

Cheers,
