Looks very nice. I wish I had the money and place to store it.

Saw this today on Hemmings.

Hard to believe there are 2 salons within <100mi from each other provided Patrick's didn't go to far

Love the color combo.. Don't think they'll see $13,500 though.

Nice but it won't sell for that kind of money.

I agree with all of you but it takes only one buyer

I agree with all of you but it takes only one buyer

And there's a hundred sellers looking for him.
So when that 1 seller out of a 100 finds that one guy, why does everbody use that figure as a benchmark?

Interesting comment that "most emissions removed" which would seem to shrink their potential sales. I know that both Australia and NZ require the emissions gear.

Regardless, a lovely car.

A very nice looking car, only about $10k overpriced AFAIAC....

My September Hemmings arrived and as usual I went straight to the 74-78 Chryslers... several in there this time, that is nice since there is often nothing or just Gesswien... No bargains though.

What was Patrick66 wanting for his $4500 and it took him a couple of years to sell it

This car is at Grand Lake, in the NE part of OK. He's had this for sale in HMN and the Imperial Club list for at least three years now at that price. It's actually about 3-1/2 hours, or 200 miles away. I've never laid eyeballs on it in person, but it is supposed to be a pretty nice car. Overpriced currently, IMO. That should pull $8K pretty easily, I'd think.

Over the past ten years, I've counted at least 40 '78 Salons. Supposedly, Salon production in 1978 accounted for apporoximately 15% of New Yorker Brougham four-door production (NO 2-door Salons were ever built!).

NO 2-door Salons were ever built!

Hmm. There needs to be one, then.
