QuoteBTW, that car does NOT weight 2800 lbs.

That reading and misinterpreting some shipping weight number on a no option and base /6 vehicle probably not event a convertible

That's a 3400-3600 lbs car.  I've digitally weighed a few.

Here are the (estimated)shipping weights in the dealer data book.  Not saying it's correct...

And the seller choose to use the /6 weight. Even though his car is a V-8

Those shipping weights are wrong and factored with absolutely no options.

Seller is trying to make up for the weak 273 hipo motor. The 68 340 motor will walk all over the 273 hipo. That why the 67 273's Formula S's are worth a lot less than the 68 340 Formula S's.

Kinda harsh on the 273, sure a 340 is way stronger, but it's still a rare combination in '67.

If it about the $44k yeah he's dreaming.

Yes that was too harsh.

But this is a case where rare does not equal similar desirability.

They might have made near the same number of 273 hipo 67 Convertible Formula S as the 68 340 Convertible Formula S. But the price difference is significant

Those little 273 Commandos run good for their size. I have respect for them considering their size.
