Is this car legit or is it a mongrel? If it's legit it sure is a great price:

It's got a few legitimate bones in its body but by and large it's a knock-off assembled mongrel.

I'm surprised that someone even restored this. I think the one desirable feature is the that the body appears to be a Sport (capital "S").

West, you think that's a restoration? I think it's a new creation.

Thanks for the link, Steve. The radiator shell was a 900 in the earlier form as well.
I don't see a current price.

It sure looks a lot better in this color compared to the glorified ambulance color it had before.

Can you help me understand what makes everyone so sure it's a mongrel?
