If I remember correctly, Mecum put a Value of $650,000.00 - $700,000.00 on it when it was listed in the auction catalog it was last sold at. I do not remember what it last sold for. Bill

----Bill,,,I believe (not sure of this after all this time) that the interior had been dyied black for one thing. It definetly needed a resto. Remember that this was back in the mid 70's. Values were low even for great cars. I bought my white 400AC coupe in the same time frame with 14 thousand original miles and more options for $8,000, and people thought I was crazy! Chris bought it from 2 brothers out of New Yawk restored and sold it eventually to a Florida car dealer owner who liked black. I found that guy a really low mileage 66 black-black 350 hp Nova that he bought and then stiffed me on the finders fee.....Bill S |
