[T3] Barrett-Jackson just sold a $78K notchback!

[William Hoyer]

It wasn't presented as being original.
Several things are not as it came originally but my notch has a lot that
are not original, including 68 seats in a 65 but I like them better. Mine
is also lowered slightly like his as well as using an electric fuel pump. I
also prefer to only have disks on the front but he prefers all 4.  His may
not be originally perfect but still a nice car.

 I don't know how you get 1830cc , maybe 1835?
