Seems like a nice one on ebay
« on: November 25, 2003, 22:44:55 »
I'm usually a skeptic about low-mileage cars from dealers, but this one seemed like it was worth consideration:

It appears to have all original hoseclamps, a body-color undercarriage and a very nice engine bay.

My guess is that this is a true low mileage car in pretty good shape.  I think the paint underneath looks like silver but is an illusion-the car is white and I think it is white paint (poor digital picture).

Best,

This car has been for sale on their web site forever, and also advertised in HMN etc. I think it is probably a decent low-mileage car, but realistically any car from 1969 ESPECIALLY one that has been driven so little is going to require a lot of work to run at reasonable standards. (I am finding this out on my 1969 car which I bought at 90,000 miles.) It is an unusual color combination, looks like a decent car if you could buy it in the low thirties, which I think you can't.
