Restoration project

That car seems odd, wrong engine number, some correct veloce stuff, not all. Tach is odd (mix of parts), speedo is wrong, no blanking plug. Overall, it looks like it could be a good car for a total restoration. If it is a real veloce, the price looks right on to me for what it is. Just remember that to make this a $65k veloce will cost about $50k for restoration.

I don't disagree that a complete restoration of a 750 could easily run $50K - and that assumes that the owner does a lot of the work himself. But, does the car at Brighton Motorsports really need that much additional work? I recognize that the steering wheel, seats, and gauges are wrong, and yea, the hole for the battery cut-off needs filling in. But, how would the tab get as high as $50,000.00? I'm not defending the car as perfect (or even worth the $33K asking price) - I'm just wondering what you see that I am missing.
