FWIW, the console shifter plate is not from 300/300L.

Yes, but surely for an extra $17 they could've sewn some stitch-stripes in it. If I was an upholsterer, that would be mandatory, I would never let someone attach my name to such a bare-bones repair.

I saw it and wanted to re-post it, but didn't have a quick method for tracing it back to its history on here. And it's in such sad shape that it wasn't worth me digging. As @ayilar did that work for me, I'll say that it is the same car, the peek of the front seat upholstery in the driveway shot...

That's a decent-looking car. Get it over to those Frog Follies!

Perhaps not unrealistic, but a guy would sure be better off spending more $$ on a better car to start from. I think the lack of good pics, lack of good description, etc tells the tale.

No apology necessary to me, I would've simply moved them without any fanfare if I was able to.

@hergfest, @SportFury70 I noticed that these 2 cars (posts #47 and #49) have been posted in the 'owners' thread, and based on the text of the posts I presume neither of these cars are yours? @Toolmanmike If not owned by those guys, can we get these 2 cars moved to the 'sightings' thread? FWIW...

Yes, but the OP might be privately replying with pricing to people. Some sellers do that. Or would be better to preface your public offer of parts with 'if the OP doesn't contact you...'

I'm 99% that it is not in here yet, thanks for posting. I saw it on my phone today and was goign to post it, thanks for saving me the effort!

Well, better there than in the doorpanels. The wiring would surely withstand the seat-flipping if it's not routed near any pinchpoints.

Man, don't try to poach a buyer in someone else's for-sale thread. Not cool. That's not the correct shroud for a Poly anyway.

Commandos have a 10.5 clutch! Did not know that. Not that it's a game-changer for me on this car, but whether to get a HD 9" clutch or swap to 10.5" was a big road-fork in my spreadsheet for this car. For getting it running as-is with a 5.2 vs future desires for more fun. Interesting on the SG...

Removing the 2 bolts at the lower corners of the dash and disconnecting the steering column from the dash might give a little bit of wiggle room to make a difference, too.

Ha! When I saw $5500 and non-Formula S with HP and 4-speed, I knew the car without even seeing a picture. It has been for sale for at least 6 mos that I've seen. Seller also has (had) a 64 or 65 Valiant 4door parts car for $1900. (optimistic price, there was nothing desirable about it, and was...

Early-build car with the Fratzog rear bumper. Or at least an early bumper. @ayilar - you might want to get info on this one?
