    I do like the way he's laid out the ad. Nice presentation.

    You would question what, specifically?

    Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The car is the car. It is what it is. If the people bidding on it are flakes, and it keeps reappearing on the market, that's something else. Don't hold it against the car unless you know for sure the car is the problem. My guess is it's not. If you're interested, check it out and bid. It's not like these come on the market all the time, especially in this condition. It may or may not be worth $18,000. The marketplace will determine that.

    Very nice wagon but way more than I can afford! He does have a very nice ad though.

    This car was purchased six weeks ago from the Colorado owner by an Oregon dealer who is now flipping the car. The Colorado owner put the car on eBay originally and the guy in OR made him an offer to cancel the auction and sell outside of eBay.
    The car is now in OR. The OR dealer has had it on eBay three times...with it getting bid to over $18,000 the first time. LOTS and LOTS of bids early on, running the price up of the auction. Hmmmm?
    Unfortunately the car is fairly low optioned: no power windows, seat, or locks (and no deluxe armrests), AM radio. The Custom Cruisers were the most expensive of the clamshells and are usually better equipped. This is a lovely car though, and a rare survivor

    That's actually a more realistic result. I can't see these cars selling for nearly $20,000 regardless of condition.

    I agree. The clamshells are just not quite there yet.

    Agreed. Even $14k is high for a low optioned car. Probably the finest one I have ever seen sold last year for $14700. It was a 73 Custom Cruiser with EVERY factory option and 50k miles.

    A few months back, there was a 76, fully optioned, and in pristine original shape, that sold for $18,000. For a true survivor, with the right options, nearing $20,000 is about right. It just has to be something spectacular, and fully equipped.

    This car is still for sale as of today; despite being bid to over $18k and then over $14k twice. Seller is Cascadia Classics in OR. Seller says $16k will buy it.
