It's probably a fun car with 3.91's and a 4 gear, but even if it weren't green it's still $15,000 too high.

Yeah, other than the paint, the full vinyl top (which doesn't work on these cars) and the exhaust system, it's got all the right moves. Other than the electronic ignition it's a pretty solid restoration under the hood, but the chassis work leaves a lot to be desired. Who thought textured paint on the hood was a good idea?

There's a lot of nice work here but much left to be done. Rhe market's never been as strong for the '71 cars--particularly with their emasculated 300-horse (gross) base engine--as it is for the earlier squared-off offerings. Maybe that's because they signify the end of an era.
