It sure is clean. Someone must have gone in and polished off all the oxidation on a regular basis. I would think that after 30 years, even if it sat on jack stands in a clean room, there would be a lot more visible deterioration.

Nice car tho. Looks just like my buddie's 72 with the blue interior.

It's very clean, that's for sure :yesnod: . But to me, it's too perfect, and I wouldn't want to drive it :(

:iagree: I even feel bad sometimes putting miles on my machine, much less one that pristine. Here's my current "wish I could" on ebay--claims to be the first '69 tripower ever built & you could eat off the engine: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1875838919

J.B. All it would take you is a little elbow grease and your car would be as nice as that one.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Steve! :cheers: I've just got a small case of "grass is greener," I'm afraid--I keep lusting after tripowers and sidepipes!

Speaking of elbow grease, are you on the road with that new ZZ4 yet?

Too bad you couldn't have got that one. The auction ended at $26,500.00. I would be too scared to drive it though.
