Wow, you guys are brutal.? Having gone through, and currently going through, a lot of stuff on a similar car, its a pretty good job, albeit over priced (but I like that if it sells).

It is pretty clear to me that what you are looking at is a car that was picked-up by the restorer after someone had already done (attempted) an interior restoration.? While the interior is somewhat dirty, in?comparison with the rest of the car the seats, carpet, dash, and soft pieces?all appear new.??Indicative of this further are the fact that the lower door pulls were not reinstalled with the new interior (before pictures)?and the center counsel cover is not an original configuration.

I also suspect that the interior was originally red.? Pointedly, the red interior cars that keep popping up are all?Color Code 1 (black)?MK1a's.? From the time I got mine I have been told that there were no such cars, then someone advertised that their's was the only one, then another and another?showed up, then there's mine.? All are Code 1.

The bumper problem results from misinstalled bracket spacers.? An easy fix.

As to the mileage being original, if that car was driven through three winters in its climate that is exactly how the engine bay and the balance of the car would look after forty years and 25k.? Its also exactly how it would look after forty years and 125k.? Considering the rust through, etc., the "original" mileage is not that important on that car anyway.

IMHO
