I thought that car looked familiar when I first saw it and now I'm convinced that I know it. Unless it has a twin, it was bought and given to a younger lady when new. It was her 'weekend' and 'show' car. I remember her showing it in the early and mid 80's. She kept exceptional care of it. It is a beautiful car and if it the miles are true and it has been stored properly I would venture to say it is one of the best it the country. All that being said, of course it is not worth 75k! I have no idea of what it is really worth. As others have posted, I too am sure the 301 really hurts it. I would say the current owner is fishing for a good offer. Surely they don't think anyone is crazy enough to pay anywhere near close to 75k!
