Not mine. This '72 Newport Royal coupe was advertised at CAD8.5k last year, and was re-listed by the same seller this August at CAD 7k. The seller has owned the car for 5 years; it was repainted in the original GY4 by the previous owner.
I looked very seriously at it last week, as I like GY4 Honeydew: IMHO, it looks great with the shiny yellow paint and the road wheels. The seller was very forthcoming with info. Based on the numerous pics sent by the owner, the price (~USD 5k) seems fair. I decided to pass because it does not have A/C and Medina's (my '71 T-code Monaco) is much more "special" in my view. This car, unlike Medina, (i) needs a new vinyl top + fixing some bubbling underneath the vinyl and (ii) has a non-original radio and door speakers that I could do without. The front bench has a vinyl cover, as the original fabric is torn, so I'd have had to factor in a re-upholstery too. Mechanically the car is said to be in good shape (the only issue seems to be a small a leak coming from the trans) and it comes with a bunch of maintenance parts.
The Kijiji ad was pulled by the seller this morning: I don't know if CL23M2C279105 has sold, but FWIW it was still available as of yesterday (when I told the seller that I had decided to pass). Here are pics from the ad and select pics from the seller (pics from last year's ad provide additional info):
