What you need to realize is this isn't a discussion about the restoration of a '69 Camaro. Think of this as more like a '69 Ferrari-only not as well known.

Seems to me whether or not you should buy this car will depend on you and your abilites. How many "normal" cars have you restored? Are you in posession of the needed skills, equipment, and cash? Substitute much cash if you have to pay someone to do it for you. Do you have the time, energy, and drive to find the missing parts? Labor of love comes to mind.

The simple fact that you are asking this forum would suggest that at least subconsciously you realize this is a big step and you have some doubts about the above....... Then again if the price is right it might to good to pass up.

.....best case is you buy it, get tired of it sitting in your garage after you realize it's a lot of work and not your dream car, then you sell it Larry for a boat load of cash!! Did I hear someone say Italy vacation?????

But I do STRONGLY suggest you take someone knowledgeable in Detomaso's to look with you. Again these aren't Camaro's and have unique nuances and quirks. They aren't called Italian Mistresses because they are common....Look at the PI main webpage. There may be a Regional Rep in your area. Trust me they would be happy to go with you and look. It's not everyday a hidden mangusta shows up.
