Other than there being a 'nice bunch of goodies' that go with that car, it seems priced awfully high?? Or is it just me?? Chris.

Seems okay to me for a full classic in a very rare body style, that's essentially drivable!

It's a top of the line car. It's a 180, not a 160. I think it has overdrive because there's an overdrive relay next to the voltage regulator. It is a complete car with all the extras, and that's half the battle. The outside costs to restore might get you to breakeven if you had to sell it. Any time you spent cleaning it up and prepping it would be worth it because it's top of the line.
But next to this one at Glen Vaughn's, it does seem overpriced. hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/p ... /super-8/2321860.html#&gid=1&pid=30

I would take the CL one any day! It's all original and unmolested so no worries about what's right or wrong. It is also closer to me than the other which makes it very tempting indeed!

Joe is right if done authentically but I would be worried of all that might have to be redone.

Exactly, Joe!! The difference between those two cars is significant and the cost of getting the 'parts car' to the 'Hemmings car' condition would probably push $20K; bodywork, paint, motor, upholstery, heck $20K might not even do it! (at least not up here in Canada, in canuck bucks!) Chris. (and Don, when did you get so liberal with your wallet?!?!?!?)
