Default Is there something special about this car?

Is this car worth much more than $35k?

Looks pretty nice and original (yellow and brown were COOL colour combos back in the 70's), but 0 bids and 10 hours to go should answer your question...........

That is a lot for that car. Unless it has something special about it 25K would be a good price.

Color looks off. It might be the lighting, but Sunflower Yellow has much more orange in it. It looks like 69-70 Daytona Yellow. Nice car if it is an original LS5. Brown interior takes away a couple of bucks. 25K is pricey.

Seems to be pretty pricey. But the seller may have went to NADA and looked it up. Go and see how much NADA says the car would be worth. That is why the car is listed like this. Besides, that car is one of those real NCRS types. Not an NotCorrectlyRestoredStingray like mine.

Because I am highly amused by the prices those coupe fella's are asking! And, if the coupe's are getting $XXX, that'll give me a ball-park on pricing my superior convertible.

So as to not perturb my "stalker" in the above post, I'll post future inquiries re: "coupe's" under my other username (74FLCOUPE).

Sheesh...

Excuse me. Are you posting to contribute, or just to come in and harass people?

It was for sale by a dealer. That's why the $35K.
