    It is in remarkable condition. I realize it probably sold, maybe it's just me, but for 11k fix the clock, they are all over ebay and it takes 5 minutes to change. He says in the video he won't fix it because the car is so "pristine" and "original" but the tires aren't original, the battery?, oil filter? And buy a new sticker for the air cleaner, its a glaring omission when you open the hood.

    Not just you. What bothers me is seeing a car that has been cared for 40 years or more put up for sale with a dead $8.00 sealed beam. Won't say what I think of a modern radio face in a decades old dash.

    Some of those pictures look so good, like it came from brochure. Very nice.
    Just me, but i don't like the vinyl top and i'd rathe have the vinyl seats, but the interior is in real good condition.

    Agree. I would rather have the vinyl interior, especially with the Brougham interior, but the dura weave is very durable, and probably a lot more rare. It is a nice car. But I would have liked the metallic green exterior with hat interior and top, but man it really looks ‘70’s.

    The Duraweave was advertised as wearing like vinyl, with the look and comfort (think hot days and cold days) of cloth. I think it fits well with the brougham interior, taking it a step more luxurious. But you have to like green, am I right?

    He had it for sale over on Facebook. I think he wanted around $23k or $24k for it.

    Yeah he is on the crack. It is a lovely car but there are some trim issues, and it’s a 400, 6 pass, if I remember. Still a nice car. $20k. Uhhh maybe not.

    If the 19 8 is a real bid, he should take it and run.

    I think a discrete Bluetooth-equipped stereo would be pretty nice. Could play whatever music you want. Or you could keep the OG radio and get one of those Bluetooth to FM transmitters
