And it's not going to

I hate the "Too many extras to mention." You can't mention all the "extras" but you want 50 grand for the car? Come on

I doubt it would sell for half of that

I like the burgundy. The car looks good. It will not sell.

It's not really anything special. It is a 4 speed tri power with 8 lugs but still

Clueless might be a better ?

Really nice car but with a 389 that is a joke at that $.

But hey, you are not going to get it of you don't ask.

But you're not going to ever sell it at that price either

What do yall think? I'm thinking like 20-25 max if it's as nice and fully restored as he says

Default Over priced GP

In '62 the tack is supposed to be on the consul, not on the steering column. The one it has look's like an after market unit. Thought this car was supposed to be a top notch(overpriced?) restoration?

Yeah no joke, has the right console and everything. Might as well put the correct tach in the correct place

I'm with cheese Country all the way on the tach too. If it is supposed to be SD/original flavor, then make an effort.

Exactly, It's not really anything special. It's probably not a real 4 speed or tri power or he would have said so.

Yep. No factory tach, and that shifter is goofy compared to the factory shifter that should be there.Aren't those super duty valve covers though? Thought they had taller breathers. Not a stock radiator either.
It's a nice, interesting car, but not sure if it's a 49K car though.

The shifter doesn't bother me after experiencing one with an original shifter. They're pure junk compared to a Hurst comp plus.

To quote the fat lady in "When Harry Met Sally", after watching Meg Ryan fake an orgasm in a diner, I'll have what she's having!! LOL!

It is a decent car-for about 1/2 that price!

About the tach thing, you want the price to go up another $10,000? Oh well. I'm not going to buy it any who. Maybe he's dyslectic and thinks he started low??? Heh. Mark L
