    So this increased $8000 in value (purportedly) from 2014 to now and the only change has been a detailing? Doubt it - predict it gets no bid on eBay. Also hate that the original dealer emblem on the rear has been removed. That was part of its originality and history.

    The new eBay listing says the car was repainted. Evidenced by the incorrect spare tire well that was black and is now red. This Florida dealer does a lot of flips, repainting cars and touching up the undercarriage.

    Mid-optioned Catalina with aftermarket speakers cut into cargo area.....he's asking on the high-end for sure.

    It did not look like needing a repaint.

    Still no bids. Gee, go figure.

    ZERO bids with less than 12 hours left - I'd say the market says "overpriced."

    It actually got one bid. (Checked about 10 minutes before it ended; it hasn't ended by the time I left the thread.)

    It does look nice here but yeah, seeing the reply above I'd have kept the original dealer emblem or at least made a replica.

    Bidding seems fake/contrived.

    look closely at the bottom of the doors - there has been rust repaired, and from what I can see not done well for this price
