From the thread you found look like the seller bought in for "more than asking" in July and now selling it for $14K. What was done that justifies this $10K increase? Other than simply cashing in on the super low purchase price...

Please understand that my post was coming from a bitter, sore loser - ha ha.  I contacted the previous owner first, but was then essentially ghosted because of all the "overwhelming interest" in the car.  It was certainly worth more than $3,500, and I am sure the current owner paid above that.  It was explained to me that the previous owner sold it to the current owner because he was happy it was staying in the area (SW Michigan).  I am right across the lake and was hoping to give this car a permanent home (and still in the same region).  So again, my comments are jaded.  

 

That said, from the seller's description and photos, a list of work and minor rust remediation was performed on the car over the past 4 months.  I don't doubt the new price is in line.  I just wish the previous owner would have honored contact time over locality given the car is clearly not staying "in the area". 

 

Yours truly,

Disgruntled car buyer.  😉

I had to do a double take on the car. I had a 73 in Malaga, over saddle. I think it might still be somewhere in the Ann Arbor area. No real mods, just the Weber.

Shouldn't an early September 1971 car be a 1972 model?

Does it have 1971 or 1972 emissions decals?
