It looks like a nice car, priced within negotiating 

range.  Thank you for your continuing contributions,

Fin Seeker!

I like that.

Prefer the 74's, but this one is a nice example subject to inspection.  Needs re-detailed, looks like some tired paint and a quick-y wax job to me.  Also needs a thin whitewall added to break up all the black.

That's funny I prefer the '73's by a wide margin.  Front end, back and, and most importantly, the roofline and roll down quarter windows.   The fixed quarter window and roofline on the 74-76's spoil the whole car IMO.   Agreed this car desperately needs some whitewalls, as it would have been so equipped when new.

I completely understand.  Thankfully there are still quite a few out there.  As you know in 1974 they went the "Collonade" route of enclosing that rear window.  I personally like that and I love me some eggcrate grille, versus the vertical grille treatment on the 73's. 

 

 

But we are splitting hairs, both years are nice, one sort of ends an era, the other one starts a new one.

Here's an observation:  Note that this nice Cadillac

took a while to sell at $13,950.  (It was likely for sale

before we posted it here, furthermore.)

 

So the next time we see a greatly overpriced car--

typically from a dealer--we know that that price is

a charade and totally unrealistic.  I've seen Coupe de

Villes in dealers' ads priced at $30,000 and $35,000!

Whoever detailed that car does not know how to deal with black paint. The car is not dirty, it has swirl marks everywhere!

I know someone locally that has the same car, but gold with gold cloth interior.  It's a 35 ~40 Kmi car and it is gorgeous...  I don't know what he paid for it and as far as I'm concerned whatever it was, he got a good deal!
