    This is a nice ride. Incidentally, theres a couple here where I live has a his & hers version of this model. "His" is a copper color and "Hers" is a yellow one, both with the matching "Broughamage" and white vinyl tops and windows such as this example.

    That's a nice car that's decently well optioned with a B5 Blue interior to boot. Not many of these were built with that interior colour, and even fewer survived. I always liked the opera window cutouts on these, and is one of the few "muscle cars" that I actually prefer with a vinyl roof. I just can't stand those huge bumper guards, which were due to federally mandated 5 mph bumpers starting in 1973, and this was just a quick fix. However, even before reading the ad I noticed the bumper extensions were in really nice shape, which is rarely the case. I'm not sure if they're repro-ing them now, but for a long time they were next to impossible to get. The only part of the description that turns me off is where it says: 'Rust spot on the driver's rear quarter the size of a grapefruit', yet he doesn't show that side of the car. It must be garish or something. Other than that and the thinning paint, this would be a really nice survivor.
