I almost bought a far less tacky restored X19 for $3,000 a few months ago. Just about perfect Scorpio version in canary yellow.

Funny thing is someone stopped by and offered me about double what I have into my 124 including the purchase cost a few days ago.azruss wrote:don't we all wish we could get the time and money out of the cars we restore.

Maybe the way the guy hyped it up with the long Utube video etc. He's a character.

He appears to be used to defending the Glorious Tackiness of it all. Your either going to love or hate it. I would be deducting points and dollars for all the Glory I would have to be fixing to make it safe to drive and be near. In some parts you may as well paint a BullsEye on it and wear a KickMe Sign on your back for when you got out.
