This looks like a nice coupe for the money. Set of skirts on this and it would be perfect.

Not wild about the light blue, but skirts are definitely needed. Price does seem fair.

I think so too. Good condition, correct repairs and proper care make all the difference. For some reason, the car looks stubbier than one in real life. Probably something to do with the photography.

I would buy this car if I had room. But I would strip it and either paint it red or peacockgreen from the time. And of course the skirts.

Some cars look good in cheery, pastel colors. This is not one of them. A darker color and skirts...ooooh!

This is back on for 15K which I think is reasonable for this car considering it has been completely rebuilt mechanically. This car is really growing on me. For sure I would be repainting and getting the skirts fitted but I would like to drive one of these with the eight. Be pretty smooth.

A guy in our chapter has one with the eight cylinder. It runs whisper quiet but has a strong, mellow exhaust note. His car is a really nice combo of a pale metallic blue and a dark metallic gunmetal blue. I could live with the roof color of this car, but the powder blue has to go. A little paint, a set of skirts and off you go. You couldn't buy and restore a car like this for the asking price.
