Hi all,
A nice 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 'vert 383 car just sold for $35,000
(plus Bidder Premium $2,450, so Total Sale Price = $37,450).
There was a remark that the 500 was restored by a man who only does a few restorations every few years and he then sells the completed car. He just enjoys the restoration process. That note / remark appears to have been removed for some reason. But the list of "features" shows off all the work he did on the Dodge.
