New tires, paint, seat upholstry, tuneup, runs and drives with no known issues. 37000 miles shown. Air conditioning works, power windows, power top, power antenna, well equipped. Top holds out the weather but is a little worn. Super rare and super nice. Working with your shipper is no problem. The car is a knockout and it is unlikely you will ever see another for sale.

I also have the original taillight group...a previous owner changed them to the Town and Country taillights on the car now. They come with the car.
I also have a complete set of new old stock wood panelling for the car, that comes with it, too.
 
Decent price too.
Even without power vents!:)
 
Really like this Sportsgrain. But I have concerns. Is it lip stick on a pig? Looks like it is stored in that old barn in the photos. Rust? The back seat and arm rests look to have mildew/mold and the rear seat speaker cover is completely rusted, no photos of the top up, so that trunk and rear floor need to be checked out. The under carriage too. Nice Toronado there too. I also like the New Yorker tail lights. The ad says the car is in Franklin Lakes, NJ. That is a very exclusive area of multi-million dollar homes, so maybe the owner has the financial resources that a proper restoration was done. It definitely needs a thorough inspection.
 
Car could use some TLC but seems to be a fair deal. Appears to have the original grain yet. A/C, power windows... yeah. A real attention getter.
 
So the price is all over the place or is being flipped, leverage for anyone looking at it
 
This car has been on and off the market for a loooong time. I wish it would find a loving caretaker, it deserves it.
 
The car is nice and needs a caring owner.

With all of the higher dollar options, no evidence (from the eBay pictures) of hood insulation (which was paired with factory undercoat in the options list) on the car? Still nice, but I suspect a buyer would need more pictures or an in-person inspection.

Just some thoughts,

This car belongs to a guy who is in the movie car prop business. I am from the area and know some of his other movie car prop rivals. He likely bought the car to be used in a film production and is now selling it because it made him his money. He has many other cars listed on CL North Jersey.

I would be willing to be hired as a buyer inspector for this car if anyone is interested in buying it. I am only about 15 minutes away from it.
