Hopefully it was done back when that was a thing to do. Its like taking the V12 out of a Jag XJS and putting in a 350 Chevy.

A large number of people pulled the V12 out of their XJ-S - after it caught fire and burned. That is what happened to mine - the next owner swapped in a SBC using the "Jag'sThatRun" kit. He also replaced all the dash gauges & wiring ..

This was one of the best kept, most original “Survivors” we have seen on BAT in a long time.  Darn shame it was presented with the damage to the rear quarter panel and tail light surround.

 

A Survivor in that shape (without the damage) would easily have brought $40K to $45K in the last six months - - but that dent in the rear,  is in a very hard place to fix - and it was a big Put-Off to most collectors.

 

I think the seller made a costly mistake presenting it for Auction - without first fixing that damage. On the other hand the Buyer got a really great 240Z at a bargain price. 

 

Another great Survivor - 1973 on Auction now - we’ll see how it does.

 

 

I selected the dark theme, and you must have selected a dark color for the text, and it blends in, making your post unreadable.

I have the normal theme and it reads just fine.  Looks like the others.

The dark theme is easier on my eyes.

Forty-five five for a  red seventy-three.  Pretty good.

30 years ago - it was a $3,500.00 example.  You have to wonder how much the Dealer paid for it, before he flipped it.

More sales.   BAT might be the best thing that has happened for old car sales in decades.
