Looks like prices are on the way up again

She's a highly polished turd for sure , trunk lid seal on the shroud and what's that bracket on the bottom right corner of the heater box ?? A bottle opener ?
I assume the heater hose issue is because the blower body is broke or the hose broke off the connection to the blower and trying to reconnect it with the shroud on is well you all know the answer to that !!!!
Or maybe they just wanted louder horns and couldn't afford the 19.95$ air horn kit ??

The paint cut line doesn't even follow the body line. What are those side curtains? They have huge flaps with lift-a-dot fasteners on them like they were on a jag xk120 or something. There is no rear cockpit aluminum trim. No dash bezel trim. Only single exhaust, wonder whats going on there. I would hate to see the underside of this car.

Healey Ricks first impression is proving to be right, a what is wrong with this picture game. I know it's all in good fun, but I sure hope the new owner is not on this forum, but if he is...My first reccomemdation is to make a frantic call to the Vatican to recruit a exorcist and direct him to bring a few LARGE bottles of holy water with him. That upside down grill really gave me the creeps! However, the upside down steering wheel is a nice touch if you want to block view of the gauges and dont like being constantly reminded of the actual mileage on this mad max refugee. At this juncture I wouldn't be surprised if the convertable top frame has shower curtain rings attached.

In the spirit of keeping this thread going, let's add the mismatched blue spark plug wire and white bonnet prop rod. I only wish we could get a look see under this beast.

It's like that Johnny Cash song about a Cadillac built over a decade. That frame patch is scary. No way that sells for $60k.

Almost missed the frame patch on the link; definitely a polished turd. Wonder why the frame failed at the same location on both sides? Rust, probably, but that's not a low spot on the earlier cars (it is, I think, on BJ8s).

That car was originally listed and trying to be sold as a rare BN7 . It has a BT7 vin # . I think someone chopped the rear end of a wrecked BN7 and grafted onto the BT7 and tried to pass it off as a "rare BN7 " . Guess they hoped no one would notice the chassis graft patches and the BT7 vin . They listing has since changed and they now are selling it as a BT7 "polished turd" lol

its been on flea bay for about nine months now possibly longer .
