Am I on drugs?

Either I'm on drugs and don't know it, or this guy is and doesn't know it. Either way, I cannot believe the asking price. I understand that it's a rule of the Seller to be able to ask whatever you want, but you have to get someone to pay it. But, really, this is nuts.

Puff the Magic Dragon

What is he talking about "upgraded the AC to today's standard" ??? What he was too cheap to buy $60 worth of R-12 and do it right???

I remember this one on eBay a while back. With mostly the same pics. I think it went for $25k.

This same car was listed on eBay a while back (it was a scam and was taken down). I'm surprised that there are not any new photos of the car after all of the repairs! This originally started here. Some of the original photos from the "daughter" can be seen here.

So it was a nice lady who wanted the car to go to a good home.
Then some doofus bought it and put $55k into restoring a perfectly good 6.3?
And now that same doofus wants $125k for it?

Sounds like a great way to ruin a great original car.

I like the label maker stickers on the Speedo.

There's a 59K car in Hemmings - a repaint - for $48K. And no one would blink at a 3.5 cab or 113 with this mileage/condition for that price. Can't fault him for testing the market on the high side, or for spending 50 large on the car, then taking it on a road trip!
