I said I would advice getting some one that really knows a 55 if I can point out what I see by just the few pic's you post , worried to see it in real life.

I sent this to him and dont think I''ll ever get a resonce!!!

Yeah dude, NO WAY that car is worth that price!

Ok, it is a great start to get NCRS correct, but not that much.

Roy; the black engine compartment is glossy should be Ducco flat black? Also someone undercoated or painted the under body black, should just be the wheel wells.

I wonder what the reserve is on this auction? I can't begrudge anyone for trying to get top dollar for their car as long as the buyer isn't duped. Let the buyer beware.....If it sell's the price of all our 55's just went up....

Over the years I've seen many 55's being sold claming it's 100% restored original by some restoration shop even getting a NCRS top flight that is so wrong and missing many original parts .Hard to blame anyone when so little is known or is in the JM . Some day fare fare away (in space) from now maybe the new audition of the 53-55 JM will be done for 55 like the guys that did the great 56-57 JM.
