    The patina alone is worth $2000! :thumbs2:
    With a carberatur it should be worth $2500.
    After all it ran ten years ago. What could go wrong?:(

    It "ran when parked," so what could be wrong with it?

    Just noticed: this car has a 3-speed transmission. How rare is that, coupled with a 390?

    Add another $1,500 to the price! :)

    So in reality it should go for $14,500? Those trailer wheels also help.
    Those 3-speed shiny 390 barn finds with patina and good runners when parked are rare.
    Direct air intakes thru the headlight holes and add a surf board, who knows what it may bring. Hurry before this gets away!;)

    He's right about the James Bond/Goldfinger connection.

    Note what's next to Mr. Bond's right shoulder.

    Another view of it from the movie.

    Still it wasn't the actual wagon in the movie and so what if it was. It will take a lot to make it GoldFinger worthy again. Miss MoneyPenny wouldn't ride in it.

    He doesn't say that it was. He just says it's the "model" used in the movie, and he's right. You might not care, but others might, and it certainly doesn't hurt his cause to mention it.
