I have some sort of pneumatic relay going to a vent "astro ventilation" I wonder if that helps uncloud the plastic window.

What's so great about it? It has exteremly low miles, other than that it's not that great a color and no one gets to enjoy it!
It's a waste...

If I was rich I would and I'd drive the living shiznit out of it and enjoy it. Truely it is a beautiful car, forget the owner and his lack of driving it stuff. That's his issue not yours.

A few years ago one of my neighbors had a yellow 66 big block convertible with side pipes and knock offs. He drove that a lot, even occasionally to work (he had a good parking arrangement). I think he sold it for $60 or $70 K. No reason a yellow 69 big block convertible with side pipes can't go for $65K. Joe

He'll get that price from someone. If you ever want to see some high (and higher) prices, try the Mecum auction sometime. I couldn't believe what some of the cars were going for. Last year I saw a 60 go for 85K. It looked like a washboard when you looked down the sides. Obviously someone did a hurry up job to get it to the auction in time. That is a beautiful car. looks very straight and correct.

I wouldn't be afraid to dive it.If I paid that much for it I'm getting my moneys worth and drive the crap out of it.But I'm 55 and my driving the crap out of something is not the same as some of the younger members.I used to be one I know.

If that car went to Barrett-Jackson, as stunning as the engine/convertible/color combo is, it would not at all suprise me to see it bring $80K or higher. Now, if this was a base engine roadster then I'd say 
It looks OK. It's got the wrong color on it. That yellow is smiley face yellow. At least I'm glad to see the ticket going up.
