    Nice looking example, but I bet it a leisurely drive, 4200 lbs car, 145HP 305 V* (and I think the 145 is optimistic) probably has 2.73 or so rear gears. Nice cruiser but it would drive me crazy actually driving it.

    But is sure is purty.

    Sometimes purty is all you are looking for. Believe these 305s delivered 145 hp and 245 ft lbs torque. Certainly slow but probably smooth as silk.

    I like the colors inside and out, the rims, the bucket seats etc. Not a car to drag race, but a good driving car to take to shows

    Good final few hours of bidding. Went from $8200 to $15000 over last 2 hours.

    That sale price is amazing.

    Assuming the buyer just likes looking at it. Driving it will be no thrill.
