Even has a rim blow wheel..

Wow, it's got everything except a hard boot cover. If I could only win a small lottery, I'd buy it to go with my hard boot.:D , even though I know that Centurions just barely fit through my garage door.

Did you notice that this car also has the early style hood, with the louvers near the cowl?

Yes, and the VIN would put it at a fairly early build for the Fairfax plant.

It has a RH mirror, custom rear body moldings...it also appears to have an aftermarket power antenna on the top rear drivers quarter. ...and fingertip wiper control.

It's back!

Is this the 3rd time around?

[Smartin]

[Smartin]

hmmm...

lots of new picture with this listing.

I see a Hi Perf 455 on that buildsheet!

[Smartin]

At least they are more thorough with the picstures. Thank GOD for the buildsheet. Now I can register it myself:laugh:

It does look solid underneath. I wouldn't pay more than $7700 for it.:Dou:

Who wants to start a pool on how many times this car will be relisted? $5 a bet!!

It's a good looking car... More than I paid and I paid too much, so what should this one go for? I know a few of you are looking for nice ride, this one seems to be sharp. Not the biggest fan of the interior either (read previous posts), but all in all it looks good. What am I missing?? Is it just the price?
Maybe it's time to think these cars are going to demand more coin than what they used to??? I'll yield to you more experienced guys. Help me understand why this car isn't selling and what it should go for?

For what it's worth, I used to own this car. Bought it in '97 while stationed at MCAS Yuma AZ. Sold it in 2000 when I was transferred. Was always a solid car. No rust problems. Lots of options. The older gentlemen who bought it from me had it repainted (not sure where, but somewhere local to Yuma), and I saw it at the Yuma carshow in summer '00 before I departed. Original seats were all black, but in very used condition. Agree with all others here that the red/black upholstry job isn't the most appealing.

Like I said, this car was a driver. A/C worked, and it didn't overheat in the Yuma summers. On the other hand, the heater never worked (it had the automatic temperature setup that I could never figure out how to fix).

I both bought and sold it for $3000.

It's a small world sometimes, isn't it.

These pictures were taken when it was for sale in 2006 at Bromm Auto Outlet in Phoenix. It was up for auction on Ebay. Don't know if it sold or not. My connectivity to the internet from Iraq was pretty sparse at the time.
