    Looks like it migrated from Colorado to Michigan and added 4k miles to the clock.

    Amazing how a couple of super high bid auctions have pulled the prices of these into the (relative) stratosphere. Who could have imagined prices like this for a Pinto/Bobcat just a few years ago? It is a very low mileage car, and it does look pristine, but it does lack AC. I think there may be a basis for a little bit of negotiation, even though the ad says the price is "pretty firm".

    I bet. It picked up a set of wire wheelcovers along the way. Think this car, if it is the same was last in Arizona.would love to know the date on the title, as this is no Michigan car.

    I think it's the same too. It is a neat little ride. But, Bill, as for being a Michigan car - I believe they are still out there....you have seen my '69 Merc - who would've thunk that thing spent it's first 32 years in Pennsylvania?

    Oh agreed they are out there. The Woodward cruise is loaded with gorgeous Michigan cars. And with 26,000 on the clock, this car hasn’t had a ruff life, wherever it hails from. I just thought I had seen it up for auction there, and I also think it’s the same car I saw up for auction in 2018, also in Arizona.
