No connection with this in any way. Just interested to see what it goes for.

The description is kind of funny.
Transmission n/a?
Convertible no? Even if there is no soft top it is still convertible, like the CA coupe, or am I wrong?

Well, interesting to see how much it sells for, considering bumper missing etc.

Wow! Looks like it was a pretty original car with a solid history. Still a lot of money though :-)

Plus recommissioning  of all rubber, hoses and the fuel system as a minimum

That's a lot of money!

The car was in need of restoration at huge expense, it was very straight and honest, had some previous repairs which need re doing but will make a very nice car. It shows clearly the value of low mileage, low owner cars with good history.
