Car sold for somewhere around 10k to a "flipper in California. He tried to get 17k out of it. Engine was a 59 AB. He came down to low teens before it disappeared. Making money on old cars is a tough proposition...

Sounds vaguely familiar. Did better then 8k on my end. My ex-wife called it an accidental Ebay buy, well true. 6k ebay bid, transport, and other... I put a bid in not thinking it would sell at that price. Winner. hahaha... Had fun with it and sold it. It was a very solid car with no rust and a solid drive train. (not sure it was the same) Saw mine advertised though way over what I sold it for. Was able to keep the H&H heads I put on it. Sold the heads for $700. I don't think or care about making money on cars really. But if you do that's cool. It was a fun car, I experienced it, made it better, and off it went. If I was a golfer and quit golfing you can't ask for green fees either... it was fun though and I needed space at the time.


Just wasn't into the turtle back. Your coupe looks very nice.
