Wow, those rims are squeaky clean. Really impressive, that must've taken some elbow grease. A few years ago I attempted to sell mine on Auto Trader with a fair price, great photos, and and detailed description. I got zero inquiries. None. I think these cars are an acquired taste. If I was to do it again I would likely put signs in the windows and park it where potential buyers would be lurking and walking by, such as the parking lot of a big box store (right at the end where people would see it). These cars are often appreciated in person. I sold my previous car this way, and put great effort into creating a "window sticker" that detailed the features, miles, and price. I'm always surprised when people buy those horrible for sale signs, write their phone number in it, and stick it in the window. Many would-be buyers don't want to call a stranger and ask about miles, service history, and price.

Wow, that is in great condition. Acquired taste is probably right. Best place to sell is right here I would think.

1970stevo, as a newly registered member I don't have access to the private message function yet. Tried unsuccessfully to post in your ad in the marketplace. Hoping you would email me at bd hiett @ yahoo .com (please remove spaces). Thank you.

SeanW, I really appreciate your willingness to help. Unfortunately for me, it looks like 1970stevo has already sold the car.

Thanks again to SeanW.
