Not mine, just an interesting car with a history.

Really cool, I guess. Not sure what one would do with a period correct Kustom, particularly when it's a rare E code. Except for the "how not to do a " rolled pan, the outside is pretty neat and I could live with it untouched, or at least unchanged.....but the interior? Yes, period correct, but apparently not too many of us had good tastes back then. At least by today's standards. Not sure I could sit in that with my eyes open for too long. So, do you live with uglyness because it has a history? Do you go half way and just change some stuff like TV removal, add carpet, etc?
Now Gunter is going to give me a thrashing, I know, lol.

I know what you're saying. The only thing I'm kind of curious about is the selling price. Although, I would have to place a real TV screen in that box. Maybe get a record player for the tranny hump.

E code with a history....I'll be surprised if it doesn't sell for at least10x what the current bid is. Also, looks to be well maintained, not like it's a barn find that's been ignored for 30 years. But also to be considered is these are strange times to be selling.
