Very nice car, and obviously very-well cared for. Clearly an expensive restoration but not one centrally focused on originality (e.g., color change and Luxus door cards). Agave is a good color but, IMO, is not a great combination with a black interior. The black interior would likely look better with the car's original Granada color. But who's going to fix the non-original color issue at this point, after someone has gotten a very good paint job? I wouldn't.

Query for the cabriolet authorities, aside from solely this cabriolet: Did the 1600 cabriolets come from the factory with the 2002-style black grills? Virtually every one I've ever seen wears 2002-style grills rather than 1600 grills.

the paint color on the authentication cert says "Granada", wrong oil filer cap...still a beautiful car.

Top goes down the price goes up. Wanted one of these when I was in the market for an '02. If only this was for sale a few years ago.

I'd have to get rid of that giant roundel on the steering wheel and put in a silver dollar instrument cluster.

I'd rather have a Turbo for that money. Someone is hitting the CRACK pipe again!

There were less of these produced than the Turbo. Probably even fewer left in this condition .

Some pictures of the undercarriage would be in order as well...

[alpinaguy]

Whoopy! Non original color, gauge pod, seats, panels, steering wheel and thats only what we can see. Last time I checked most Turbos are usually ALL ORIGINAL. $45K come on.

I was only saying two different cars but both very rare in any condition. More power to him if he gets his asking price.

Lol, this made me google images of 1600 cabs. First one I saw was my old one and then the Bring a trailer ad for it. Made me a little sad...

I'd sell mine for his Buy It Now Price. The starting price is more realistic. Lots of interesting upgrades on this one. The Lux door panels are a nice touch, but the dash and long console look too modern on this model. Also, I have never seen the body VIN number in that position. I looks like the fenders were replaced and the original VIN was grafted back on. It will be interesting to see if the car finds a new owner, not the car for collectors looking for an original 1600 cab, but some very nice upgrades that should help the sale.

P.S. The grills seem correct for this model. No shots with the top up?
