That's a lot of cheddar for a 78. Interior is slightly worn for a 212 mile car, not what I was expecting. But nice,with good provenance. Don't think he will get close to that number, but if he does. Good news for us all.

Every time I see the Odometer on "low mile cars" out of synchronization it makes me suspicious.

As a 79 owner, I'm not sure a 212 mile 78 L-82 4 speed Pace Car in #1 condition is worth this much. More power to the seller if they can get that price!

Wouldn’t it be great to take a car like this and go over it with high definition pics like a restoration guide..
looks cool with old original engine parts and clamps pre heat hoses etc...like with new technology zoom in different parts etc..

Here's a 15 mile...yes fifteen mile 78 that went for $35K...So how far is $47K off base for 200 or so miles more?

Saw this car at Bloomington a couple years ago. I think it belonged to a Forum Member.
