Default 1962 Tuxedo Black w/Fawn Beige & RPO-687

Proteam has a 1962 Corvette, black, with rpo-687, and they've had this car for sale for at least a year. It's been on sale a couple of times.

During all this time, has anyone looked at it? Any thoughts? Why hasn't it sold?

Yes, I understand it's pricey. But all his cars are pricey and they sell. I recall this car being in his xmas in July sale in 2013, which is a long time to hold inventory.

btw, how would you price a car like that? For a 1962 Fuelie with good colors and a Top Flight in 2014 you could probably ask around $100K. The big brake option adds something.

What do you think?

I think Terry will hang onto it until he gets what he wants for it - he's good at that.
