I see this car was purchased for $13,000 in 2018 and appears the work on it since looks well executed and very presentable. I enjoy restoration work myself and used to do it as a business for a while and a lifetime hobby, However why the sale? It would be commendable someone just enjoys the restoration work and putting out a nice vintage vehicle (I do) but does not always pencil out, especially if you hire the work done by others. Thats always the challenge not to get upside down. Might be others who wonder the same if it was purchased to be resold or a change in life circumstances. Either way its a nice car and over time will continue to appreciate despite the ups and downs of the economy.\r\nIf you are ready for your next challenge I have a 66 TR4A that I have held onto for years and unlikely to get to it, and downsizing soon. Its a good core for a restoration.
