Does this qualify? I thought $25k for a coil spring suspension Ghia coupe was high. I mean, it must have coil springs with no way to remove the torsion bars right? Confused

Where I come from that's a rarity and I suspect it would be pretty much anywhere else too. It looks to be an original condition survivor that hasn't been molested in any way so it sets its own price.

Not wild money and it offers a lot in return.

No side trim, or torsion bar covers… needs closer inspection..

Is that the "drifter's special"?
Just look at that hand brake handle....oh my Confused

I wonder whether they have also repainted and detailed the floor pan for that price... too bad there are no pictures showing the undercarriage.

Check out the clear/white braided plastic breather hose routed from the fan housing to the air cleaner. Poor mans super charger. Mudded over torsion covers too. Soon to be bubbling up in a driveway near you!

I almost wet my pants laughing when I read this. It won't be long before it get adopted in someones signature.
I will be down in Miami for Thanksgiving. I may drop by to check it out, Weston is only about an hour drive north.

Yeah, there'a lot wrong here that makes it Not a $20,000.00 car.

For instance, not sure what the point of this is?

Seems a little expensive considering it needs a little work.
