I bought it's brother the day before the Kissamee auction. verified matching numbers and mostly unmolested one owner 67. major differences are the options mine a 330 hp, no a/c, manual windows and manual seats but does have PS and PB. Although very well cared for, no restoration has been done. The usual chrome pitting, chips and worn interior, what you would expect of a 50 year old convertible original car.
Point is, I'm clueless why that one went over 110K. Mine was 65K. My question, was it a total frame off screw for screw restoration or was that the shape it had been stored in and all original?
