suchan Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Awesome car. Not sure how popular the '70's-style paint colors are nowadays, but the beauty of the car transcends them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not popular as to Tan/Brown/Orange - though I have been painting wheels maroon and putting a little lighter color maroon to dark red pinstripes on them and they seem to sell quickly enough - you buy a car for the quality of what it was prior to restoration and quality of restoration thereafter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Doesn't Shawn have a KB with the same body for sale? I believe Dick Shappy does also. Very pretty body in "I was restored in the 80s" color scheme and whitewalls. I think a big discount for the non-running motor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Beautiful car. Thanks for posting the ad. I know nothing about this era of cars, or the color schemes or valuations, but it sure is elegant. Seems like a lot of money, but considering what other fancy luxury cars from this era go for, maybe it's a good deal. I'm curious, though: Quote It has been in storage for 8 years. It has not been started in that amount of time. Great condition. I'm wondering how that happens with a car this valuable kept in this condition. And with that kind of asking price, why wouldn't (judicious) attempts be made to start the car prior to sale? Should that be a red flag, or is it not that uncommon with cars like this? Thanks.

Often sales like these are estate situations or a widow. Cars that have sat for 8 years usually means 10-15 which usually means lots of needs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 What a sales pitch.........old, dirty, tossed aside and ignored old cars, left to go to hell...........come on over with a truck and pay me. I can’t bother to take good photos, air up the tires, or wash them off. Sad.... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md murray Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 There was a very nice, mostly original, running and driving one these for sale for about that money listed in Hemmings for the longest time recently (like last year I think). Anybody remember it? Washington state I think? History and provenance going back to the 1950's, a great looking car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) There would be a great difference in appearance if the shutters up front surrounded by the shell were painted fender color. Painted the light color make it look "to busy" . Tan and Brown with orange wheels were a popular color starting in the early 1970s , especially for open body style cars. Most who dislike the colors now didn't mind them to much then , BUT to many cars saw that color combination because it became popular. Another popular trend was to mount Trippe lights up front on everything , every make from 1927 to 1942 - be it a Packard or a Plymouth, as well as cast step plates on the running boards, and the - "plating of everything" that was removable syndrome . Another popular color combination was silver and maroon , didn't matter if the car was a roadster or a 7 passenger sedan - silver and maroon. Currently restorations try to stick to period colors - but now the popular trend is to polish anything aluminum - hoods, fenders etc.. especially on cars of European manufacture. These cars seem to be prevalent in attendance at Concours shows - ya know , the 'park and pose ' crowd.

edinmass Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 125 K for a car, that while I like it......hasn’t run in ten years and has gone to hell..........they are only about 100k over the money. Their approaching education is going to be brutal. The colors while popular in the 60’s and 70’s make that car a give away to change hands.......and add in ten years of neglect ........and 20k to clean it up minimum. Sad situation for a neat car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-mman Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) "Estatesales.net" You can log on and they will send you notices of 'estate sales' in your area. After a year I took my name off the list. I dont know, are they a franchise? But every sale I went to was outrageously priced! They have household items (cleaning materials) marked higher than you could buy them at the market! Sometimes the original store sticker is on it. There was a plastic workbench drawer set with a bunch of nuts & bolts. $25!!! I thought $5 would have been generous. They have refused to negotiate. The sales I have visited have listed only firm prices. To me getting a deal is the only reason I would ever consider going to a sale. Their deal seems to be that they hold the sale and leave you with an empty house. I do know that they commonly drag unsold items (furniture etc) to the next sale location. They rarely have cars, but they have demonstrated that they know nothing about automobiles or the marketing of them.
