I liked the car a lot
Not my dream car but checked a lot of boxes.

I bid up to about 60K, but tapped out after that.
Not sure what the reserve was.

Does anyone know what the reserve is?
I am kind of interested in the car.

Thanks
Matt

I don't know what the reserve was but I don't think a buyer could go wrong at $70k in today's market.

I agree. Costs of restorations are keeping up with inflation. $70k doesn't seem out of line. Especially when considering less than 400 total 4spds built and its all numbers matching. I believe the similarly equipped, Black/Black, unrestored 4spd , previously 1 owner car, 71 GTX brought 50k a several years back.

Now it's on Feebay with a B.I.N. of almost double the $63k it bid up to on BAT. This is at least the 2nd re-list by dealer that I know of. Gee I wonder why? This dealer's markup must be around 80%

I saw that one made it to eBay and shook my head. The number of cars dealers are sitting on for months and even years is pretty crazy. I’m not sure what market is anymore because those guys pay it, then double or more the price and the car languishes instead of being enjoyed. Another example is that black on blue 440 truck. Sold for a reasonable and even high number at 25, but was resisted for 45 and has been unsold for most of a year now.

Yep. Really sad. There's making a profit and there's stubborn greed. I've been watching that truck get relisted also. Won't drop the price from $45k when he paid just under $25k and did absolutely nothing but immediately relist it. Now he's trying auction style with reserve which I'd but is $45k and he's going to find out the market value is $20k to $25k, just like he paid. Maybe less now.

Here's another sorry example. I really like M body Diplomats/Gran Furys. Mostly just the Police Package cars. This non Police one has been on Feebay for well over a year now at ridiculous price and no drop or MAYBE a $500 drop after over a year, not sure. Still ridiculous. This is why dealerships have bad reputation. $12,000. Yeah right. MAYBE a $3500-$4000 car.

While this 21k miler is only $4750
