not remotely a player, but i 'd be willing to pony up beyond reason for this one.

I tried to trade my 300G for this car but the owner and I couldn't make the deal. Ended up with my orig paint 300L 4spd convertible so it all worked out.

Shes a beaut...

expected price?

expected price?

I'm betting around $45K. It checks a lot of boxes... Letter car, convertible, 4 speed, desirable color combo, A/C, and low miles. The interior brightwork looks a little rough so that isn't going to help.

I looked at Hagerty price guide and then a few examples of 300L convertibles. They seem to be selling in the high thirties, but are automatics.

If that's the car i think it is it was a local Phoenix car. If so he had it advertised for $70K along with a hardtop for $30 K.

A good one to watch.

Not the same car. The Mecum car has been for sale at a dealership/collection in Illinois for years. Last ask was $80k.

Ok, thanks! I'll try to find the local one. Was advertised for quite awhile but haven't seen it recently.

Came up on my lunch break. Sold for $30,000 quite a deal for a 4 speed.

Wow! That seems low.

Wow! Did it sell for that or did it not make the reserve?

It was a no reserve so it sold. It was one of several cars from a single collection. Several sold for less than I thought. They all presented well but maybe none driven on a regular basis or at all.

 

[Zymurgy]

This is the collection it came from. I don't know how you bring up the selling price of the other cars sold. He liked his big convertibles.
