    Oh, never mind that was the green one. LOL! I think I will email him. :D

    I might be in for $3-3,500 perhaps, providing it is no worse than it looks. However there probably is no piont me asking for extra pics (especially of the inside trim) this side of the pond as past experience has made this generally a waste of time for me but it would be cool if somebody much closer asked for some so we can document this wagon properly on this forum though.

    No reply. Oh well. :)

    My email is sent out by GMAIL. I think over 1/2 of my sent emails end up in peoples spam box. I rarely get replies on anything I email out.

    There's certainly more than one reason it does not sell! :naughty:

    A little high, but I gave $4000 for my '72 and it wasn't even drivable. I would give $3500 for this one if closer to Tennessee and I knew I could get $4000 back out of my '72 (despite having well over $5000 invested). :)

    If someone wants a '72, buy this one and trade it for mine (if you deliver, LOL).

    If I recall, didn't this one also have power windows and power locks?

    If I was in the US somewhere, at this price I would give this one some real consideration. Such a shame it was left to rot somewhere for a big chunk of its life though.

    One thing that has always really bothered me about the seller and this car is, everytime it surfaced over the past year or so and especially when it was at its 6k price tag, the same photos were always re-used (fair enough) but there was never any effort to include any newer pics, especially of the interior.

    Still this is becoming more affordable for an enthusiast or a derbier now.

    That is what I was about to say... asking $3500, may take $3K or less and near the heart of derby land... it is becoming a higher risk of seeing its fate in one of those. A lot of those guys have the time and means to travel and get one.

    I emailed seller again about this car and got tons of photos, many are updated. I will post here in a little while.
