I’m not contesting your estimate which may very well be realistic, but I don’t, however, feel that a lack of V8 motor matters here. More like lack of fuel injection. In my opinion, the unique interior is a plus! Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 19, 2018, at 10:47 PM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > >

I agree that it's a stunning car, meticulously restored. I just don't feel that sort of money is realistic for a non-v8 sedan with AT on the column, unique interior upholstery and manual windows. I also suspect it has a manual antenna. Mid $20s is my guess. On Thu, Jul 19, 2018 at 8:54 PM,
