I also dig that color, especially on a Vert with a Black top.
I'm guessing paint is tired and cracked. 40 year old paint usually is. Also, the installation of a Hurst shifter usually means the original was worn out and was replaced. Without pictures I will always go with a low number. I'm sure it's a nice car, but will need pics to crack the $20K mark.

BTW - I'm a fan of the color.
I agree with you Buddy - But I am partial to that color too.

Here's my 69 - 67K 3 owner car.


Gold is GOOD!

Well I was just going off the provided description. If it differs significantly from the reality then certain......"deductions" will need to be made.


BTW I need a nice Gold on Black 4sp Vert!
