Title: Original '71 50,000mi
Post by: hauser on October 16, 2004, 22:20:54
Check out this ebay auction for what they describe as an original low mileage car.  What I found that was really neat was the original bill of sale along with original window sticker.

Oh and by the way it is a no reserve auction.  But I'm sure they're not going to give it away!

The time it took me to write this entry the price went from 6,100 to 10,000.00.  Seems like someone is wasting no time.

A couple of things that I noticed looking at the picture of the original window sticker: there was no charge for the heated rear window; the car was purchased with luggage.  It's nice to see what some of our options went for.  Pretty cheap in todays dollars...

The molding behind the rear wheels are missing. Otherwise the car looks very original.

It says that bumper gaurds were extra............I thought these were standard on US models ??

Isn't the leather a different colour from the other trim inside, the door panels and dash etc. ??

I wonder where the $60 ski rack went?

I wonder why the luggage is described as "behind seats" when there was a third seat ordered.

It has the rare and highly disputed rubber gasket behind the thin chrome strips, located between the trunk lock and tail lights.
