Matt Harwood Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Man, I clicked on the link expecting to see an off-the-charts nice convertible, not a slightly scruffy coupe. That's A LOT of money for a coupe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 It is cool to see one that isn't black. Seems like a very pretty color, and if available on the cars when new, I'm surprised I don't see more like this. I know nothing about these cars, but I'm always looking at them online because they seem surprisingly affordable for what they are, but - as mentioned - this one seems priced higher than most. Maybe the recent restoration costs are a factor. I agree that it's quite attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I like them too and always heard the small V-12 was a poor choice of engine for a car like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're nice $20-25,000 cars. They're terrible $35,000+ cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
