Hi there:
I've always been an FE guy, but lately I've been giving some serious thought towards buying a K code car instead.
My question is this. I've always been partial to the 67-68 fastbacks. I still kick myself for selling my 67 S code back in the 80's, and I now see what they are going for.
Anyway, for the last several months I have seen a black on red 67 hipo fast back being advertised. The price seems reasonable enough but for some reason the car hasn't sold. As far as photo's are concerned the car is gorgeous, but I'm on the west coast, and it is on the east coast.
I know that I could probably hire someone over there to take an objective look at it. However, my concern, aside from any possible defects it might have is the fact that during restoration the car was given a complete color change of both exterior, and interior.
Before, I decide to invest in an evaluation by a third party, how much will this deviation from originality possibly effect the value of this car?
Thanks for your input.
