I intended to bid on this but decided not to. Went for $17,000.00 this morning. Very original.

Looks a bit like like the 2800 HB Chris and OCCoupe saved.

Except for the paint!

Lovely, but it's a '72 and should have black grilles...

A '71 would be a 2.8 and have the earlier style taillights, C-pillar vents, and seats, plus silver dash trim, not wood.

No complaints about the price here! Mine's nowhere near as nice, but a rising tide etc. etc.

I feel good about this sale. My car looks to be as nice, this is where I feel the car should be priced based on looks/rarity/driving experience vs. the classic car market.

VIN 3100224 is actually a MY 72 built in Aug 71 or thereabouts so it is a 3.0.
