That is a great looking car. Does the air blow cold? The colors are good, looks to be well sorted out and most of all it is turnkey. Ready to drive and enjoy.
It is my opinion that the market is soft right now so you may have to settle for the low $40's but I can't see going in the $30K range. Most cars in that range are cobbled together junk with rust repairs non matching drivetrains etc. Great looking car!

@wldgtx  Did your beautiful R/T SE sell yet? Having cruise control on that car is awesome! To me, that is a $50k car for sure.  :alan2cents:

The car has not sold yet, I have not been aggressive in trying to sell it as I have been busy with work, kids, life in general.  A few people that know me and the car have come to look at it and the interest is there.  The general opinion is that it is worth $45k all day long, as a matter of fact the I am friends with the owner of Southern Motors and he said based on what he is buying and selling that the numbers are in line and reasonable.  My thought is that I can ask $50k, and negotiate from there.

That said, it is worth noting that this is NOT an over restored Mecum car, there are things about it that are worth making note of though.

1. The interior is all stock, all original.  Nothing has been replaced, it has minor patina, but nothing is worn out.
2. The trunk area is completely stock, everything in tact as it was originally.
3. The engine bay has been freshened up a few years ago, but mostly original except for wear items.

A few people that have come to see it, have asked about the restoration process on the car and they don't understand when I say it has not been restored, it's been well cared for and freshened up but that is about it.  The car came from Southern California and has lived a pampered life by someone who knew how to take care of their car.  Since I have owned it I have put less than 1500 miles on the car and actually it may be less than 1000.  Most don't understand that either, except for the fact that I explain that I have plenty of cars to take out and enjoy.  I am not desperate to sell it, I know it is in really good shape and a great investment for someone who will want to enjoy it and not lose money as long as they take care of it too.  Thanks again for the kind words!!

I cannot guarantee that, but the previous owner indicated that it was not restored. He was an elderly man so I don't think he was BSing me.

From what I've seen lately I agree it would sell at $45k depending on location. This car is preferable to one that has been blown apart and put back together with Chinese parts.

Yes it does... My wife and I took the car to a large car show in MI over the summer and it was hot as hell, we cruised I-75 with the air on and speed control activated.  We both agreed it was pretty freaking awesome!

Thank you!  I have not actually put it up for sale yet.  I think I will put it up for around $50k and negotiate from there.
