Hi Skippr1999
George is 100% correct. For that kind of money this car should be as near to 100% original as possible.
To add perspective (now come the shameless promotion) I will be offering this 73 L with 40K miles, very clean local show worthy driver with zero miles on newly rebuilt engine. Tires so new they still have the stickers still on them. Car will be listed here and in Hemmings in about 3 weeks for $53,000 and it is a whole lot closer to N.C. You could come and check it out in person.
