Equipment
Hard top, powder-coated frame, power seat, wheel covers, new wide whitewall tires.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Older frame-off restoration. Recently rebuilt drivetrain and suspension. Paint is sound but has some minor chipping around driver-side headlight. Brightwork around windows is pitted. Bumpers have a nice shine. Engine compartment is detailed, though valve covers are discolored. Seats appear to be newer than the resto. Carpet shows minor wear.
Market commentary
$30K for a driver Baby Bird is pretty much what it takes at this point in time. Chances are this result will be repeated 9 out of the next 10 times it is offered, so the question ultimately is will the 10th time make all of the extra effort on the seller's part worthwhile?
