I love these. There’s only one but: ”Chassis DG128 last changed hands in early 2017, when it sold at a Florida auction for a fee-inclusive $231,000,”

There are two others on the market at present. Both priced close to 500K USD.

I’m sure you know we have a member who has restored, or more like reconstructed a number of Dual-Ghias. He knows them by heart.

Can't remember, but there's nothing wrong with that at all.

I just found out that the color on this car has been changed. It used to be creamy yellow only some ten years ago.
But I suppose it presents better in Indigo:
