Personally, I was thinking $75,000.

If I owned it, I would hold 'till demand comes back. But I'm 48, I've got the time.

It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. However, the main problem with what the current market is willing to pay is the color change, never a good idea. Also, there are a few body/paint issues that the listing details. The old market might have been willing to pay as much as - my opinion - 80k but the current market did indeed speak.

The upper middle class collector car market is keeping their powder dry.

Paul's car is for sale AGAIN!

Who is Paul and where is it being sold?

That "rarest of the Fairladies" is finishing today. I've noticed many "Bid to"'s though. People are getting tight with their funds, I think.

Edit, aside - always funny how the sellers tell people how to use their computers so they don't screw up in the final two minutes. Smart enough to make an extra $100k or more to blow on a collector car, too dumb to know how to get the money spent.

"As the listing approaches the end over the next few hours I’d recommend refreshing your screen and having the auction on two devices so it’s in live time."

Yikes! $64,000

I figured it would bring more. I thought $60k was low.

As I've said at least twice in the recent past - the upper middle class collector car market is, and has been for at least the past year, depressed.

It didn't bring anything. Not moving.

Isn't this guy a CZCC member? "JDM Car Parts and Restoration founder Tsuguya “Jay” Ataka".

There were some small things that might have hurt it, like below, with the TC rod bushing. Small part, its degraded quality impossible to miss. He owns a car parts company. But, the money doesn't seem to be flowing anyway.

Spell man, spell!

This seems to be one of those cars with its own fan club. Interesting. A Players Club car. Dilettantes need not apply!
