I'm the wrong guy to ask about this particular Formal.
It's a drop dead nice car but the St. Regis roof, the Spinnaker White/White, the sunroof, and the ATC II are minuses. Except for the ATC II, others will pay a premium for them.

Even more $$$ if it's converted to a 4 speed.

No. Then it's back to a 25 hundred dollar NYB with a ridiculously expensive drivetrain.

Funny you mention that. Two weeks ago a bud called me to say he saw it around the Tampa area.

A personal inspection is still needed. The ATC II to manual conversion is a must to have the car fully functional. Everything I've read/ heard about the conversion, it really needs to be a special car to the new owner. In my book this one qualifies. Armed with ATC II info, I'd use that as muscle to work him down on the price, provided everything else checked out. Anyone have an idea on what the book charges to do such a conversion, provided you already have the manual parts? What does 8950.00 buy these days?

 

[78Brougham]

That car looks awesome. Love the color combination in the interior. Personally I've always liked the St. Regis package and sunroof. As far as the atcII goes who's to say it doesn't work or it hasn't already ready been converted? I think you should call the guy John! Just sayin'

On another note... I cant believe no mentioned his other car...

There is no "book" figure but you're being very naive if you feel that an ATC II to manual conversion can be considered in such a cavalier manner. Selling the car would almost be a better option.
I have a complete manual A.C. system on the shelf that I bought just in case that day ever came. But the more I think about it, I'm starting to feel more and more that it still wouldn't be worth it. Why? Ask several of us who have taken out a Formal dash.

For your enlightenment...
