There was a 300L for sale locally back in 1990-91, my brother and I walked in just to ask permission to look at the car and on saying 'the 300 you've got at the front', the bloke hands me the keys and says 'take it for a spin'!, so we did. What an experience that was, the car was smooth and quiet, beautiful from every angle. Unfortunately, we didn't have the 10K asking price and because I didn't yet
have a driver's licence, I didn't get to drive it. It sat in that yard for months with the rear window down, the new owner had it reupholstered and is still around to this day, see it at car shows every now and then.

WOW !!! That's a real beauty !!!! 
The 300Ls were very high quality cars with nothing cheap. Even the instrument panels were just class and attention to detail showed. I am partial to any car with a white exterior and a red stripe down the side. The 1965 models were one of my favorite designs ever, yet I felt the rest of the slab side 300s in subsequent years just didn't come close in styling beauty.
That Beauty iz somewhere in your back yard Steve. Do You or Gloria know the seller?
Offhand Jerr, I do not. Beautiful car though, for sure. I would have preferred a red interior though over gold.
I knew I would get some flap for that comment, but that is how I see things. The later slabside 300s just didn't get me excited, although the examples you are showing are very nice looking, and I am sure that is all that matters to their proud owners.
If I had to have a new car in 1966 - 1968, it would have been an easy choice for me rather than a 300:

That's what happened to me when I said early 70s Monacos/Polaras looked cleaner as a 4dr, that the 2dr roof didn't flow well.I knew I would get some flap for that comment, but that is how I see things.
As an L owner, I scope every one that hits ebay (there's also an overpriced blue one on there now).
This white one's a nice car, but the seller says about how fabulous it is, when in the pictures it very clearly has either a brake or turn signal stuck on the passenger side. Looks too bright in the daylight to be the taillights, but if it is, then the driverside taillight is out. Visible in numerous pictures, how did they not notice that? Things like that make me wonder what other little things a 'ready-to-go' car needs.
And later on they say the AC doesn't work.
And in the undershots I see the exhaust has a piece of pipe spliced in near the engine.
A nice car, I would be pleased to own it, but with those things not a $24,800 car. Actually, I think it would be really tough for any L to hit $25k. Should certainly have lots less than 129k miles for that price too.
IMO this is a $16-18k car 'valuation', but I doubt it bids that high. Ls just don't command as much money for what they are.

Can't argue with you too much on the Buick. A fast top 300 would be hard to pass up over the Buick.
For my preferences, Elwood Engle finally got it right again with the 1969 model year fuselage cars. But you can tell he retired in 1972 when the designs started to go downhill again, although the 1972-3 Monacos must have been his final positive parting shot.
