It's official, everybody has lost their mind.
The price is in Canadian dollars.
If it is a real T-code (as the VIN indicates) and ER6 Red 'vert then, given the SF grilles, either this Fury iii used to be owned by Legendary Member @Fury440 (in that case, it ought to be PM27T0D1426xx ) or it is new to FCBO. Given all the matching parts and the fact that the VIN listed on the seller's website shows PM27T0D142696 -- my money is on the former.
Regardless, it is one of 8 (or 9 if I am wrong, but what are the odds?) known surviving 1970 Fury iii 'verts with a 440.

Yea, I'm aware of this place, Grogan Classics, haven't been there but I've browsed their site a few times over the years. I wonder where they get their cars from. They're about 45 miles due west of me. I wonder if they're connected to RM Restorations in Chatham in any way.

I'm certain that is Bill's car.

That has got to be Bill's car.
He added the hidden headlights as they were not available on the F3 when he ordered the car new.

PM27T0D142696 is not a VIN that is registered in Ontario.

Yes, Bill's car. Check with his gallery pics and you'll see the gauges and exhaust pipes.
$95k ($71K USD) the appraisal @ $110K CDN ($82K USD)

No disrespect to Bill however that appraiser must have decided that at the local tavern.

I have thought unusually high appraisals for anything(cars, jewelry houses etc) were a way for insurance companies to add $ to premiums.

This car was rather recently treated to a complete nut and bolt restoration as I recall. Of course with these cars you're not likely going to get back what you put in. I see some liberties have been taken in the engine bay, easily reversible. New (old) stereo and instrument panel trim, and you have a brand new (old) car. Is the price really all that out of line?

If the car was green, I wonder what they would have priced it at.
My weak point are Fusies so who am I to say but yah, waaaay out of line.
The car had a very thorough resto a while ago. I skimmed though his web site and it looks like is went to the shop in 1999, so the finished restoration is probably 22 or 23 years ago. It still looks good and it seems to me that Bill had the car back to the resto shop a couple times to freshen a few things.

Yes he has passed.
About 4 years ago?

I had the honour to meet Bill and his wife 2008.
They stayed at my house for 5 days!
The correct air cleaner we scored at a yard in Clayton, NY during his stay.

I just noticed that Grogan is listing the mileage as ~2100 miles. If you look at the restoration website, you can see where they swapped in a metric speedo with ZERO kilometers. The original speedo shows 88K miles.

It makes me wonder if this car has been appraised as a super low mileage car and appraised that way.
There are some factors that make a good argument for a high price... 1 of 7, red, nice restoration etc. I think that the appraisal is out of line, but with Bill gone, and who knows what has happened in the meantime. It could have been flipped once or twice since then, so the truth gets blurred.
A late friend's '67 GTX was being sold on eBay... I spoke to the guy that was flipping it. He really thought it was a one owner vehicle. My friend would have been 14 when the car was new... and he bought it after a stint in the Air Force. I did tell the seller that... and he didn't change the listing. I didn't tell him the story of the car being stolen and repainted (really nice job too!) and other assorted stories.

Paul finished the restoration in 2014 or 2015, so it is coming on years old now.
