Very nice! Since it's sitting on a lot I would think they're asking a lot more than $12,500, probably double that.
Look at the latest several Hemmings. They are very thin due to very few cars being listed relative to the historical number. Most listings are by dealers and auctions. A scan of the internet reveals the same trend. Most muscle cars are listed by dealers. Now they are in to Estate wagons
I'm almost positive that is NOT green but rather Champaign Gold. My '72 Electra Custom is that same combo, Champaign Gold with a Sandlewood interior.
Oldest trick in the book; - the middleman always makes the money, and the middlemen have the resources to drive the small guy under. Supply and demand, and all of that. The other thing is, a lot of buyers aren't as informed as some others are, so therefore they trust that these middlemen with a supposedly reputable business and a BBB number won't steer them wrong, so they're ok with paying more. And the average person looking for a an old car is one who's in his 40s-50s with some disposable cash and no time to do the research. So it's a marriage made in heaven. We're going to see more of it until that bubble pops in the next 5-10 years.
Other than a few minor interior flaws, I'd say that car is ready to get in and take a road-trip across country in. It looks SWEET!!! Larry.
