    LOVE the white 2 door.....been looking for a non woody wagon or nice 2 door....out of reach with the shipping cost....dam it. Would be a buyer for around $5500. Is it over priced?

    I think it is about right on the money. Mine is a 53,000 original mile small block car and I wouldn't sell it for any less than $7,500. But mine is maroon so I think it is worth more than a white car

    From the way the ad reads this appears to be a flip so there would be room to maneuver from the asking price. Also, whenever the odometer rolls over 100,000 miles the numbers never seem to line up. This misalignment is more pronounced on some odometers than others. On this car the numbers aren't straight but aren't out-of-wack either. I don't want to be a naysayer on the mileage claim but I'd want to validate it somehow, maybe paperwork, originality of parts or condition of things like instrument pieces.

    I've seen this car at a couple of local shows, and it's a beautiful coupe! I wish I had the cash for it, as a 454-powered mid-'70s coupe is appreciating daily. I'm digging this one. It was for sale a few months ago for just $4,000, so yeah, it's a flip.

    Hard to tell on the mileage and you have NO pedal pics nor do u have drivers door/carpet pics.

    look at the pass side shot from the rear, the vinyl roof looks off as does the rear window moulding. Lifted?
