Lets Play A Game: Last Of The Convertibles

Lots to correct there. Body and powertrain look good but there’s a bit missing from the interior that shouldn’t command a 30k price. Maybe 20.

Seller doesn't know how to sell a classic car. Posts a pic of this and other closeups of not-critical details and then only a few pic of the whole car, and from 30 feet away.
And has his phone turned the wrong way.
Moron.

I especially liked the picture of the coil wire.

That car was for sale on FB for $25K then it went down to $20K. Flipper.

Well folks, it looks like some detective work yielded another rare N-code Newport convertible. CE27N0C220200 (or is it CE27N0C220280 ?) has been repainted and is for sale in the Netherlands. Thanks to @NY69 for initiating the for sale thread.

Originally EF8 with black bench interior and black soft top, she is now a light teal with white bench seats. Front and rear 300 clips/lights.

CE27N0C220280 confirmed. One of just 6 N-code 1970 Newport 'verts of which I am aware:

With all the 'issues' visible underhood and underdash (and is that what the core of a Fusey brake pedal looks like?), I would want to see that the VIN matches that FT.
Not uncommon that a FT doesn't get painted, but why remove it to paint underneath and not paint the tag too?
Perhaps that's been confirmed already? There's no VIN shown in 'confirmed' link, and the 'Netherlands' link is 404, so I can't confirm for myself.

I saved all the photos from the Dutch link back in May 2022, and there was no photo of either the VIN or the fender tag at the time. Regardless, I would be amazed if the VIN in the tag were not the car's actual VIN -- this is an N-code 'vert.

I do not think that we have records on CM27T0C184911 -- a dark green (EF8 would be my bet, not EF9) 1970 300 'vert that sold at Mecum in Harrisburg, PA back in July 2015. No photo of the fender tag, unfortunately.

I don't believe that CM27T0C180741 has been posted here either. This 300 'vert was originally FT6 Deep Bronze metallic but has been repainted in white. The SBD was December 18, 1969.
