New toy 1981 Indy 500 pace car

Nice!

I can see the motivation behind keeping it stock, or putting a turbo engine in.

Either way, I'd be glad to own it!

I probably overpaid a little for the car but it’s just so unique I think it will even out. I knew it needed a lot of tlc when I bought it but I’m glad to be able to save it I have several other toys as well. I had a GN and lost it in a house fire and bought another GN after that but just lost motivation at the time and sold the car. This one I don’t plan on selling I plan on enjoying it

Very cool car. I'm 100% behind general cleanup and getting it driveable. I think the patina will get more attention than shiny paint and new decals.

I think it will as well the car is very unique and a very good conversation starter. Maybe later I’ll do a full repaint on it and all that but right now I just plan on enjoying the car. I may see about going ahead and getting the decals remade for it and have them put up if that time comes. I may have overpaid a little on this car but I think it will even out I didn’t buy to resell

What's "overpaid" if ya don't mind me asking? (Goes along with the other thread)

I paid a little over 2k for it but it’s so solid the only rust is surface and the body is straight as a arrow it’s probably within reason for what the car is I was just hoping the motor was going to be ok but I was wrong on that

 

[fleming442]

Seems reasonable to me.

I think you did okay, given the exclusivity.
