Equipment
396/325hp, automatic, wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, Protect-O-Plate, 12-bolt rear, power steering, power brakes, bench seat, column shift, dash clock, factory radio.
Condition
Good single repaint. Small chips and scratches on the left front fender. Some light pitting on the front bumper. The interior almost looks new, and underneath it shows hardly any age. Interesting and desirable colors and equipment. Showing 8,915 miles, which are represented as actual. Remarkably low mileage and preserved condition. The quintessential old lady in Florida car. One owner until the 1990s, then sold back to the original dealer who kept it.
Market commentary
The level of preservation on a sedan like this is impressive enough to warrant a premium, and it got one here in Kissimmee. It sold at Mecum's Portland sale last June for $20,350, then made the rounds of Monterey, Dallas and Louisville with bids of $18,000 , $16,000 and $20,000 respectively. The seller had the good sense to hold off on a reserve this time, and the consistent high bids are the best indicator of what the car is worth, which is this much.
