Location: Mystic, Connecticut | Beautiful car but not going to get US $148,950.00 unless the buyer has more money than brains.
The $148,950.00 is more than I paid for my first house .... actually more than I paid for my second house too ... lol

Location: bishop, ca | This is Max Parrat's car.
Beautifully, but not perfectly restored.
Altho very heavily optioned (including an OEM signal seeking radio....dunno how well its works; may need an overhaul, after
57+ years), it is not a D500 model, altho Max installed a D500 engine in it.
One piece of Unobtanium that I recently scored (thanks Darryl) is a virtually NOS BLUE heel pad and carpet remnant.
Also, this car's carpeting is not the correct shade/gloss (OEM is a beautiful deep/shiny Navy-blue).
The car's paint/interior scheme (triple-blue) is correct, but the wrong type/style of seat beading was used.
But, you can't expect perfection, for only $150Large, any more.
(This car might "remind" Mike of that nastily-done 58 Coronet vert, above, but, this car is about 90%
correctly--and immaculately-- restored.....not sure how to factor-into the 'equation' this car's current Hemi engine....
I'm referring to Max's restorer's attention-to-detail work on this guy!)

Location: NY & VT | Interesting that the Coronet above supposedly brought 220 Large in '07, and I'd bet it would struggle to get 80k nowadays.
Will be watching to see where this one goes. |
