This is a yellow and white 1956 400 being offered for 65K. It looks quite nice, but seems to be ludicrously over market...or am I just too cheap. Lots of money for a fixed top and no wires or a/c......

Probably a case were that is what they spent to restore it, so now that's what they assume it is worth.

Seems overpriced to me as well, but let's remember that 56 400 (Mojave tan & White) that sold at Hershey two or three years ago for the same money, a transaction that flabbergasted some of us who saw the car, not that it wasn't outstanding. Perhaps the current seller was influenced by that transaction.

A nice car but a bit overpriced for today's market. IMHO.

there is also a video of it on you tube.If you watch it, you will hear what sounds like a bad PS pump noise.You would think that for $65,000.00, they would at least take care of that problem.

I like the way the seller touts "No Reserve !" and sets an opening bid of $65K.

If my plans go right, I will win the 487 Million dollar MegaMillions this Friday and that car will be mine by Saturday.
It's a nice car, the price seems steep, but if the underside looks as nice as the topside, I think $50,000 is probably closer to reality.

My guess is an estate sale where the widow wants the money that's been spent on it.
Eventually she will have to accept a lower amount. Buy hey, when I'm on my last leg maybe I will drop a car off at some place I know is good and let them have a ball. If you really can take it with you then I'll still have my American Express Card.

Yep, in this case I think $65K and "NO RESERVE!" in the same ad is redundant. Very nice car, but for that price you could find a nice Caribbean ragtop.
