Interesting dynamic here. I suspect that this price is right about at that level where a do it yourselfer or even a shop is looking at this car and thinking it can be restored and still make some economic sense.
That might work if you are just after a driveable level car, but I would say that for a full resto, you are already past the point of positive financial viability. Sorry but the “bought at Holbert by a salesman with a 935 speedo” provenance holds no added value for me. Does show a certain level of core support for the six market in general. GLWTS |

Like Adam said in another thread, some people just want a six and don’t have $100k to buy one done. For a lot of us, the build is part of the fun, even if it cost more in the end.

Any six under $50K mark going to get a lot of attention these days because of the multitude of $100K+ cars out there lately. Honest un-restored is getting harder to find. This car is perfect for many. |

Also, the ability to make sure it's done "correctly" (whatever that means to the owner), and to suit one's own personal tastes. - MR |

I was pretty surprised at the selling price (43,500)...To me when this car is stripped down after disassembly it will look far worse than it does now. From that perspective I suspect the seller did himself a big favor and hit the jackpot, unless of course the market has taken another turn. I of course did the opposite (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
