From owner Aaron Moore:
Here are some post-clean
up photos of the Italia/Omega I acquired recently. It has been confirmed
that the VIN indicates it is #22 of the Holman-Moody cars.
I spent about 3 days on the car last week and found it to be better shape
than I expected; however, (i) the engine does not appear to be a Hi-Po 289;
(ii) the wiring needs some attention, and (iii) not surprisingly, the
front suspension bushings are worn out.
Someone undercoated the car pretty thoroughly, which seems to have preserved
the car well. Nonetheless, there is rust in the lower right rear
quarter/trunk area. Also, there is a brace that runs between the rocker
and the frame on the left side that is rusted through. Otherwise, it is
structurally in pretty good shape.
The rear suspension is
unlike anything I've ever seen and there are several unused brackets and
attachment points welded in odd spots.
The paint is single stage and very thick (probably Imron). It's is cracked
in several area and looks better in these photos than it does in person. I
had new carpet, a headliner and weather stripping for the door openings
installed and the guy did a great job. The seats, steering wheel and gauges
are nice.
I'm not going to have the time or facilities to restore the car for awhile
and will probably market it for sale soon. I'd like your opinions on the
car's value, if anyone cares to venture a guess. I can be reached by email
sent to aaronmoore@hotmail.com.
