What's the verdict? Looks like a nice car.

I agree, looks pretty nice at a glance. Everything but the engine bay looks well kept; it is not so tidy. Car seem very complete. So far however, the verdict is a mere $1,971. I would imagine this one will bid into the mid 30's at least, however.

This dealer has a history of finding nice cars. I agree that this appears to be a nice example in a fairly unusual color scheme with the added plus of a Limited Slip. I wonder what happened to the luggage?

I was considering this car when it was in Knoxville. It needed paint and had door dings, looks like both issues have been taken care of correctly. Mid $30Ks may get it but it may go higher like his silver car.

It has an interesting exhaust configuration... 2 pipes going from the exhaust manifold into the front muffler then one pipe going into 2 on the rear muffler.
I wonder how quiet the exhaust system is?

That's right, Zanone! I remember it now. This car was on ebay a year ago or so. I remember it was identical to Rob Walker's car.

It's interesting how late it is in the production run -- it's a February of 1971 model.

Looks to be a very nice example that has already attracted some enthusiastic bidding. It's already north of $37K.

Another one of his cars I should have bought when I had the chance. DZ
