C-bodies in France.

Thanks Olivier! I did some digging on my side over lunch, and found that it was initially listed in Tocoma, WA last year; the listed price was $1,750 -- wonder how much your Oregon Classic compatriot sold it for:

The Classic Cars link does not work any more, BTW, but Google has saved it together with 20+ photos. I posted it a few in this thread:

I did the same digging a few weeks back. It peaked my interest when I saw the VIN. I just can't...

Hi Carsten, thank you for this. Seems in great shape. It almost looks like B5 blue to my eyes (rather than B7), but I don't think the Polara came in B5 (only B3 and B7)?

Other differences: 360 engine vs. 383, Custom vs. Brougham, sedan vs. HT. Both nice!

Those poor cars

Hi Xavier (and sorry for the wrong name),

The cars are not the same. Among the differences: 360 engine vs. 383, Custom vs. Brougham, sedan vs. HT. So, the Washington car is not in Germany (unless Carsten has since learned otherwise).

Ps: Does the $6k price include shipping and taxes? If so then it’s not just cheap, it’s a steal. If not then your contact in Oregon did well.

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

they are different cars for sure. No one has added a B-pillar and a different roof

Those poor cars

why?

yes it was all included. He always sell a car with all included when he give a price.
in fact he was aware of the global shape ofthe car and did want to sell fast.

I like the detailed pictures he gave in his ad and the inspection he carries out. Looks like a good resource for folks buying cars in the Pacific Northwest.

I just read this thread, AWESOME Imperial and AWESOME Hurst.
Any updates on any car?

 

[Xavi3r]

yes, The imperial was sold some years ago. it is still in France but i do not have any news .
i think i'll buy a 69 coupe next time.

The hurst is still mine and will start restoration very soon i hope.
