Classic case of car auction tv trickle down effect on the brain. Dream on....

You guys missed the fine print "$80K in the glove box". Now who feels silly? ;>))

----Agree with Steve! So many small things to correct. Not worth anywhere near that asking price. I see it at around $35,000,,,,,Maybe......Bill S

About that Silver SS . . .

It has been offered for sale 5X in two years (2015 and 2016) through Mecum. Sale price and high bid ranges between $52,500 and $56,000.

Some equate "rare" and "valuable" mean the same thing and that just isn't the case many times.

I agree but i still say somethings not as advertised or they are just buying it back if a complete frame off all #s 454,m22, conv with all paperwork, and those options with supposed 25,000 orig miles sells for 50k ish somethings fishy.......

The Highlights say unrestored with mostly original paint

Quote:

HIGHLIGHTS
Unrestored
2 original build sheets
Dealer order form and bill of sale
Original Protect-O-Plate
25,240 actual miles
Mostly original Pewter Silver with Black stripes
https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0516-25...s-convertible/

Perceived value and actual value are two different things.
