Default '78 Minerva in pacific NW on CL

No affiliation. Why are all the cars I am interested in and can afford so darn far away from me. If this was pasha or cork interior I would inquire more and consider heading out there.

If the body and interior check out, I'd pay that in a heartbeat.

I haven't seen those wheels before. They must be extremely light.

Those wheels were made by a company called Emperor - every set came also with new clothes!

Exactly. Most of us here don't have the skills and equipment to fully repaint and restore a complete interior (not just replace parts) ourselves. Paying for either good paint or a full, nice interior is likely to come close to the price of that car. If the mechanicals were typical, assuming running and driving, and the body and interior very good, it would be a reasonable buy.

He only has the "emperors" fitted for show, the ad lists the normal wheels as stored with new tires.
