I once had the opportunity to buy this car before it's resurrection 15 years ago for 4 grand. It was re done by the current owner in his New England garage....

It is a real nice car....

I then had the opportunity to buy it after the build for 18,000
 
Is it an original black car? I seem to remember this one, yes?
 
Bet that goes like stink! .....needs a nice set of road wheels still.
 
Most of us have done burn outs or have driven to high speeds while owning a car long before the thought of selling it set it. He's not trashing it but using it as he intended when he built it. Nothing wrong here, except locating a thirty thousand dollar buyer
 
i like it...an acquired "taste" I gained here (through drooling over member rides and others posted for sale) on FCBO having passed on DOZENS of nice ragtop C's over the years.

live and learn i guess .. who said ya can't teach an "old dog" new stuff :yes:

this one's in "nose-bleed" territory for me personally price-wise but I hope a good deal results between buyer and seller at whatever price it ultimately goes for.

i am sure its been discussed here a couple times the past 18 months (the length of my membership) in various threads.
 
For a car like this to sell for anywhere in the mid to high 20's -- which is what the owner would likely accept, this car needs to be perfect. I do not see a perfect car here. It's a nice car for sure, but the owner wants all the money for an OEM perfect C body convertible, and this car is far from a perfect OEM situation. Lots of chrome pieces in the engine compartment that screams boy racer, as well as the rims on the wheels. The heater is not hooked up either, so who knows if the heater matrix leaks (I know, I know, it's in Florida so who cares -- well, I'm not the one asking $30,000 for the car either............). The wood grain has seen better days too -- again, I feel it is warranted to be nit picky with this car because of the dollar amount that is being asked here -- it's an over the top ask, so for that number, I think people are warranted to be this way. Does the triple black help on this -- you bet, but $30,000? I think this is a huge number for a Polara convertible.

I also think that whoever finally does purchase this car will have a nice ride, don't get me wrong. I just think that it will be a long time to find the person to buy it anywhere close to this number, and now the buyer will have trouble selling it too, because he probably paid too much for it.
 
it has a super crappy older CD player shoved in the dash with speakers sitting in boxes on the rear seat...
 
Tripple black Polara vert with a BB... I like it, I like it a lot.
