Try http://www.davidebel.com/brick/pics.htm All the links there work
I plan on driving this car once or twice a week. The interior is all
original. I think the bumper was painted - but I like it.
So you think the price range is good? I looked at one 75 brick, and this
one blows that one away - even though the other one had much
less mileage, and was a 75. There is no compartment (which is a feature of
the brick I didn't know of until I test drove this car).
Thanks for the input again!

Subject: Re: Should I buy this 74?
Dave,
Here is my opinion, fwiw. The best thing to do is look at some other cars
to
get a perspective. Maybe some club members near you would volunteer to show
you theirs? The last four picture links on youre web page are not working,
the other ones look good. The headlights--originally vacuum, not compressed
air--should be fairly easy to fix. The acrylic hatches always want to
flatten themselves out but there is a technique to make them curved again.
The pic of the bumper looks a little shiny--if it is high gloss it might
have
been painted. If the console is really in great shape then you are very
lucky or it has been replaced. If there is a compartment in the console
then
it is not a stock 74 console. I did not see the "raising panel on the left
door" that you mentioned. I did not see any cracks either, but I have had a
hard time myself trying to take pics of cracks in acrylic.
It seems to me to be in the appropriate price range. What are you planning
to do with the car? If it is all acrylic with no/few cracks then that makes
the car more valuble, IMO However, if you are going to drive it every day
and/or store it outside in the elements then you may be paying for
characteristics that are not going to last.
