Doesn't look black to me, looks like a wood steering wheel.
I think there is a decimal point missing. Punctuation can change the meaning as in: I helped my uncle Jack off a horse. Adding a comma in the right place is needed... unless it's not.

you can't say it's one owner and then also say the previous owner did xyz...
This car has had multiple owners though, at least 3 documented owners, buyer beware

I know not everyone can be well educated on how to build a car, but someone should’ve given this person some tips. It needs a complete redo, in my opinion, and I’m not quite sure what shows it will be stopping.

| Not my taste, with a few tacky details, but "..a complete redo.." seems slightly harsh. At a lower price, this one might suit somebody's pallet. |

I guess I should’ve clarified, the interior needs a complete redo. |

| Some of the stuff needs to go for sure but at $8500 or so it would find a new home. I would drive it for sure. |

The ad says an "exceptional survivor" yet they go out of their way to fake patina??? Why bother... and at this price? I'm sure a real survivor could be had at at least a comparable price....

 what is that even supposed to be - layers of previous paint or maybe a 'window' into the frunk where somebody had left a birthday cake to roll around?
the pinstriping looks neat and then that, on the same panel! bizarre

With all the $$$ he has put into the car, I'd think he'd have invested in a different, custom license plate ... the current one proclaims JNK.
