Looks like the firewall has been painted should be no paint around the wiper motor

I'd say the whole engine compartment has been redone, from what I can see in the photos.

I agree. Looks fluffed and those horns are hideous.

Nice looking car!

There doesn't seem to be a distinct line between the intake and the cylinder head.... kinda looks like the intake was painted and overspray got onto the heads?

Funny that they show so many photos of the driver's side, but not one of the passenger side, rear, etc.

It's a Kool, real car. I looked at it years ago when they first got it. It had been restored / repainted then. Maybe not frame off, but it was a complete repaint even back then. Their shop re-restored / repainted it a few years ago. The interior was very original.

If the car had a complete repaint could it still be considered a survivor ?

wow, now I don't know what to think of this ride. For being repainted by a big shop, if that is true, it sure had a lot of scratches, and nicks, and touchups. I found so many defects, in such a short time. Makes me wonder if they tried to age it.
Both sides look the same on the car. It's sure is an eye catcher, stands out like 2 sore thumbs. Those wheels and tires look nice on it. Atleast its got 'real' going for it and that color. What was nice to see, was it has a 'glossy, semi-glossy' black tail panel, instead of the flat black everyone does. If they repainted it, they got that right.

Recent pics of Bill Hunters old Yenko also show the gloss panel.
