Yeah, I know. It's certainly not my favorite either. In fact, Sunfire Yellow (or whatever it is) is one of the least desirable colors for me.
I just can't believe that an automatic transmission and yellow paint make this car so unattractive that nobody has bought it up. It's touted as being only 16,000 miles. Where on earth can you get a 16,000 mile, highly original, decently optioned C2 coupe for $70,000?
One way to look at this vehicle is the yellow and the automatic (plus the fact that it's decently optioned) make this a 1 of <some low #> car, and subsequentially a nice investment. And another person might say, "Well, just because it's a 1 of <some low #> car doesn't mean it would be enjoyable to drive and/or own."
If I liked yellow a LOT more than I currently do I think I would have gone to take a look to take a look at this car - for all the reasons I've posted above (except the yellow paint).

The 66 listed as item #2 in post 4172 above looks like a possible good deal if the description is true and condition can be verified. Not enough pics to substantiate the description, and I do wonder about the front hood fittment.

My folks found this '62 today at an auction in upstate SC. They said it looked in decent shape, but not immaculate (which seems like it should be with only 511 on the clock. Can't be right.). Just wanted to throw it up here in case anyone wanted to take a stab at it, or had any thoughts. I think the last bid I saw was 48K, which seems decent for a matching numbers (supposedly), power window fuelie...
