I think he has a very long wait ahead of him.

Great car. But unfortunately, I think you’re probably right.

First picture shows material on the convertible top. Great cars, I am checking the couch for loose change.

That interior looks very nicely upholstered!

 

As much as I hate to admit it, these cars seem to have taken a huge hit recently.  Here are two nice looking Phaetons that sold in the last couple of months:

Is the sky falling?  Were these advertised improperly?  Were they in the wrong venue?

 

This is the second Phaeton Facebook in the last six months.  The last was for sale in Indiana (https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/700403868765639/).  When the IN car sold the seller stated "a little bit under asking...not too bad"

Without seeing the cars in person, you never know. Also auctions are the place you go to get a wholesale number these days. The Broad Arrow car is described as non-running in long-term storage. You could easily be $50,000 away from driving that car or more.

 

Older restoration phaetons sell in the hundred to 130 range. It’s been that way for a while. 
 

A cabriolet will bring a 20 to 30% premium.

After being bedazzled by the beautiful photos, I missed the last and most important line

 

• Please note that this vehicle's are currently inoperable and will need extensive maintenance

    I assumed that it was in equal mechanical and cosmetic shape.  Especially since it only won a junior 8 years ago.  I am curious what happened to it in 8 years to make it need extensive maintenance.
