I don't think so. I'm guessing he got a little happy with the zeros.

Looks like a nice, maybe $50,000 car. I've seen L88's go for less than $750,000.

Hi,
It certainly does look like an interesting car!
I'm surprised that a car like this, owned by a 'collector', hasn't been seen at an NCRS event or Bloomington.
Maybe it has?
Regards,
Alan

I live in that area and haven't seen it at any shows or cruises. Also he must not be storing the other 19 cars in that location

Where's the antenna? I'm sorry, for $750,000, you can nit pick everything.

Looks like a lot of over-spray on that unrestored car. And I don't remember that speaker in the rear compartment.

Even 75K is pressing it. No mention of documentation. No need to sit here and nitpick.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the appearance enhancing pinstriping yet.

Yes.

At the asking price, it can remain in his collection with the 20 other cars.

"Other than the tires, brake pads, air filter, and water pump every part on this car came on it from the factory."

I wonder if that includes the funny chrome handles on the rear compartment doors, the rear speaker, pinstripes, and the key lock added to the left front fender for the aftermarket alarm?

It looks like the whole underside of the "unrestored" car, has been spray bombed black.

It looks like the car is nice, and has real potential, but the seller's quite a dreamer.

Well he probably bought it for $700K and wants to make some money!

There must be a decimal place error. Looks like a good car for $75oo.oo
