I don't know if the price has subsequently been reduced to $9,500 OBO, but a solid, rot-free, no collision '67 sunroof with the original engine, proper bumpers and fenders is not out of line, IMHO 
Keep in mind that on the east coast, especially NE (rust belt) these clean body (rust free) cars are not nearly as common as in Cali.

| Changing the subject.....I have lived long enough to see (newer) Bosch plugs W175T1 listed as collectible and the price being $80 + $35 for shipping or total of $115.00 for the 4 in a newer style Bosch Brazilian box. I know you can ask anything you want for what you are selling but this ad number 2180077 for Kais Collection really is outrageous. It would seem to diminish the validity of everything else you are selling. |

The middle one isn’t in the same league as the others.. the middle gives you 10 spark plugs for $40 or $4/each..
The others are crazy outrageous... |

I rather found the fact that they needed to change the turn flasher relay after 8K miles a bit suspect.
Also, whenever I see such an obvious, horrible distributor/carb mismatch as 28PICT with SVDA it makes me want to

Ad states that it only needs drivers side pan and battery area, but comes with an extra roof? Roof looks pretty rough!

Me neither.
