I wouldn't do it here, but for that price, I can find 15 things wrong with the restoration - or missed - or done incorrectly.
 
I can spot a few things wrong, and I'm new to all this

missing overriders on the bumpers
no MIDGET lettering on the side
exhaust is not stock, on my car the exhaust is on the right side of the car
no antennae
black paint on side should not run up the front fender.

did I miss anything?
 
Yep.
 
naaa... he should have at least fixed the boot lid.and the gauges have some corrosion on the chrome. too much money
 
dash topper.....been hit on right rear & bumpers never refitted properly...
 
& won't even point out the under hood area or bedliner in trunk....plus....
 
That car has been up there I want to say at least a year. I remember seeing it as high as $16k I believe. Its had to cost him half that in posting fees by now.
 
I've yet to see a dashboard without the topper, do they exist?

and dammit, I noticed the rear bumper not fitting properly, forgot to list it !!!!

what did I miss with the boot lid?

this was as high as $16k, WOW

Scott, I bet he has lost hundreds to relisting fee's !!!!!

too funny

Bad fit along edge plus 2 little "thingees" down on the lower lip - look like buttons.

He should've taken the $16K!
 
Ok, lets pick this car to pieces. I noted It looks like the dash has a dash cap installed. Has a radio but I didn't see an antenna. Loose wiring hanging down from under the dash. Missing cigar lighter. Carpet on xmsn tunnel is worn out. Door caps do not match inside door panels. Engine compartment painted black. and the trunk sprayed (to hide rust?)with that speckled paint and the rest of the stuff you folks have already noted. Is this a correct paint color for aconite purple? Looks to bright in the sunshine.

Forgot to add that it looks as though it may have had a luggage rack at one time and the holes filled with some thingees as Tony called them.

Keep 'em coming...they're there....
 
got a few more!!!

the lense on the map light is missing !!

and the backplate on the radio is missing the black covering, and the radio may not be stock, at least it does not match my 1974 radio.

and they don't know how to fold the top when down

this is fun !!!
 
Found where the antenna is/was, passenger front fender(wing). Missed that earlier. The biggest problem with the car has to be that it is grossly overpriced, (at least for me).
Ok Tony what did we all miss? Fill us in?
Rik
 
Somebody make a consolidated list....
