RE: [ASC McLaren ] 85 asc Coupe Pictures

I went by this place to look at the car for David.....
I stopped to look at the car, and in general, the car looks decent.  The exterior is fairly straight, but the paint and stripes are somewhat faded.
The front air dam piece appears to be riveted to the car (not sure if this is supposed to be this way) and it is missing a few rivets.
The interior needs some work.  The carpet needs to be replaced, the dash needs to be replaced (chunks missing), and the center console cover is cracked.
The drivers seat has a rip (side of seat) that is quite common, my car has a small rip in the same place.  Seats are all in average condition.
 
The motor/tranny are both supposed to be original.  The motor has been rebuilt, with some modifications.
It has an after market intake, holley carb, chrome valve covers, a/c eliminator kit.  The heater has also been bypassed.
It also has some holley blue fuel pump, or something like that.  The lady called her son, who was at home, and it was hard to hear him over the screaming kids in the background.
 
In general, I would rate the car about a 5 out of 10.

A guy at FEP would like to get some info on this car (the one in
Texas with the Turbine wheels for $3250).

He's got a tentative deal setup but just wants to make sure there
isn't anything crazy to be scared about:

Sandy is probably has the best eye to pick out the defects and
determine if the car is worth the money. 

I saw the following:
Missing:
Radar Detector
Shifter may have been changed, can't quite tell,
    leather wrapped knob may have been lost.
Front and rear taillight covers missing (look
    for evidence of repair)
Missing Wheels

Other problems:
Cowl is broken.
Trim is painted black, not grey (owner says its all original).
Paint looks to maybe be a repaint (owner says its all original).
Passenger door has silver power window bezel (should be black). 
    Door has been replaced or fiddle with.

Good Points:
Upholstery is correct grey on grey.
Steering Wheel
FLOOR MATS!!!
Motor *LOOKS* stock!  She hasn't been toyed with too much there.

Mostly it looks like a good starting point.  A hell of a deal
compared to my money pit....but then again everything is a better
deal than my car.
