Stunning car very rare and priced to sell, anyone that follows this model knows the rarity, it runs like a dream fluid drive transmission works as it should the straight 8 is as smooth as silk, convertible top works just fine, fit and finish is all it should be its a stunning car i believe the book on this is around 200k if you can find one of this quality, i couldn't even think what this car would cost to restore probably double what I'm asking, we took it to a local car show this summer not only did it receive rave reviews it performed like a dream, call me for more details NO TEXTS NO EMAILS i will not respond Call 406 two five zero 7003.

I don't know about $140K but I think the Chrysler Town and Country carries the highest premium of any car for what is in modern parlance a 'body kit".

Nice looking, but that is a very high ask. What else could you buy for 140K?

I like these. Out of my price range for sure. It is a beautiful car. Is that top color correct? In my opinion it looks odd next to the wood.

15-20 cars on my bucket list.   I just don't play in this sandbox.   If I had a $1,000,000 then perhaps I would have 8-10 of these price cars but I still doubt it.   

 

Let's put it a different way.  If you could buy this car at $140,000 or a 1948 Chrysler Windsor or New Yorker convertible for say, $40,000, why in the hell would you spend an extra $100,000 to enjoy essentially the same top down, take-me-back-to-the 40's convertible experience.   

 

There is a premium to be paid for that wood body, yes.  But I'm 58, in 25 years or so I will assume room temperature - there is no way I am going to whisper to my daughters on my last breath "should....have....bought....that... town & c o u n t....

 

"What was that Dad?" Town and Count?"  Do you know what he is talking about?"

Those are the first two things that came to mind when looking at this car.

Pretty sure that Chrysler did offer a color either similar or exactly like this one for the top.

Others were black, tan, blue (dark). There may have been more, too
