Listed at $149,900.00.

That would be American dollars.

Apples to oranges on that one. Blue car is restored back to standard with the proper bits. Bronze car is more resto mod.

true if you look like it that way.
I like restomods when nicely done, I also like the originals, but for me they do not need to be all original, that way I can also more easily change things without feeling that bad biggrin

... also comes down to what you'd want to do with it. If some leisurely road trips and a few car shows is your thing then the blue car is stunning. If you're more looking to do track days or a bit of competition then the 'restomod' car looks like it may be more suitable.

Both are stunning, beautiful cars though and I'd be very happy to own either (or both).
