does this seem a bit high for this car, or what? i'm thinking with that mileage it may beworth in the $25-40K range but over 100 grand??? sheesh

Well, Gregg, it's right around the corner........so........I'll be happy to drive over and look at this $100K wonder for you..............

Wonder it he'll let me take it for a test drive. Never drove a $100K vehicle before.

The seller has a lot of chutzpah to suggest the car is a museum piece with what appears to be a dirty engine, a scratch on the driver’s seat and a used spare tire. Think he’s getting pressure from the spouse?

Well I guess it is the best 6.3 out their. Although he is in restored Pullman territory with that price.

I love Sag harbor, I will be more then happy to look at it!

I have seen this car myself and know the history. The owner and family have been customers of ours over the years. The car was definately not that nice when I looked at it this spring. There was a dent in the hood and the paint was badly faded. Needed a complete restoration in my opinion. The miles are accurate, but that car just sat for a lot of years.

Sooo....is it the same car or are those pics from some other vehicle?

Even if it IS authentically restored, why spend all that for a car that the insurance wouldn't value more than a tenth of the asking price if it got in an accident?

If we could run it through Barrett-Jackson we would know what its value really is.
