Agree that much is not correct and that's what can be seen in only a handful of
general pics. Makes you question everything else. Definitely would walk away
from this one, or maybe even run. Disagree with the the comment that a properly
restored factory M would be $135K, a decent older restoration sold at RM for
$162K in Jan. 2012, and another private sale of a nicer factory M just this
month is reported at approximately $175K.

Gary,
Wow, where to start.
I notice they say nothing about a complete restoration since there probably
wasn't one done . Other than the flashy finned valve cover, missing its
original knurled knobs and oil filler cap, the rest of the engine looks
rather tatty. The interior is an abortion, carpet instead of Armacord,
incorrect door panels, and those seats are tacky. Incorrect chrome
headlight rims red painted brake drums and I'm sure the list goes on. It
needs a complete and proper restoration to justify that price.
Just my humble opinion.
Curt
