Interesting '76 Euro 6.9

Interesting hodgepodge.  No headlight wipers, I thought they were standard.  And no chin spoiler but lovely velour (though awful color IMO).  Why so few engine pix?  We need engine pix!  And gross lug nuts.  Chromed lug nuts are a must IMHO.  Still, looks like a nice car, overall.  Enjoy!

Such an early car (320) would not have had a wood centre console, so this has been swapped.

Yes!  Moreover, early wood was zebrano, not burl.  Details, details!

$52k spent last 8 years!

Green interior would have looked better with original brown paint.

What's with the red rear suspension, ugh I cannot unsee that :o   Sadly if you farm out all the work on a 6.9 you can run up a 50K bill in short order :'(

That is cool.  Underneath is weird.  For sure I'd rather it had been repainted in the original color.  And that they had not used weird colors on undersides.  Price seems fine to me.
