What an awesome detail this was for you. Could we say 'historic'? Did you get to drive it, or at least ride in it? When I was young, my mom always said "You don't need an expensive car. They go down the same streets as every car does". So true. Potholes. Idiot drivers. etc. 😒

I never thought of saying this... but the most satisfying part of detail is floor mats cleaning! Great work...as always!
@workshop_deluxe24934 ай бұрын
Disagree. The mats are lambswool, there are more adequat procedures to clean them. Besides that, all mats and carpets are edged with leather. Lots of water is not approriate for cleaning.

@joelbuchanan4715 ай бұрын
This was a barn burner of a video. WOW, That Wedgewood blue color with the gray was just beautiful. For a car from 1979 this was in incredible condition. So there was a vinyl floor, low pile mats and then sheepskin mats on top of that. That sounds like total comfort. You stuck to your well honed and well thought out process as if this was any other vehicle. I kind of think since this was from 1979, this would have still been hand built. So that explains the quality and high level of detail in every part of the interior. A sale price of $80K was a LOT to invest in a car in those years, so the original owner was well heeled and had some money. Sold several times to people who obviously loved this car so much to keep such amazing records. This was real treat and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks Mitch so much for this. Have a wonderful weekend!!! Looking forward to a new yard geek video. I always enjoy those. 💜
