There is NOTHING rare or exceptionally desirable about this car. The seller is absolutely deranged. The car is worth about 1/3 of the asking price.

I love when people try to sell something with no pictures! Especially at absurd prices.

I already knew the answer to the question before I asked, cause I just sold it to this joker for $12,000.00 Which was a nice profit seeing as I bought it for $7,500.00

It's "rare" because its the only 1975 coupe in the world worth over $10k.

Not really... it is a nice car. The engine had been gone over, inside was nice. somebody had done some work keeping it up. Just not me.

If he didn't pay the asking price his profit would be zero.

Every vette owner thinks they got a rare gem or want a buyer to believe it
Saw a 99 FRC on CL yesterday with 110k wanting almost 16k. Title said RARE.

I'd say you did good! Nothing better than making a nice little profit on something you don't need to anything on.
The guy selling it now is delusional.
