The mention of American Racing Wheels (no knock offs) has me wondering what the seller considers "fully restored". Too many red flags, but I'm sure that Nick already knows about the car, as not too many Contemporaries on the market that he does not know about.

Wondering what the value of a small block Contemporary is in this market? I missed out on a nice one with pin drive wheels last year for 25k asking price.

This one sounds like a 20K item, then send it up to Nick Acton's shop (also in NH, about 85 miles to the north and west) and spend 10K on updates and upgrades.
