Looks quite nice.

Agreed. Unless I'm missing something, $27,750 seems like a good price. But, admittedly, looking at photos on the internet and performing a PPI are two, quite different things.

Having just bought a 1972 3.0 RHD CS here in Aust I'm obviously really interested to see how the US one go.
I'm curious on relative values of the 2.8 vs the 3.0 versions, I'd expect the latter to be more desirable?
Also, is there any thinking around if the Euro spec ones are more desirable due to the higher compression rating?

On the surface, looks good, but those inner fender seams begs for a PPI

Always makes me wonder when I see painted wiper motors.

Could be a bargain, but i agree with teahead - PPI or in person examination required.

I'll pass. Not enough speakers in the rear deck.

It does look decent. Wonder how much rust is actually in the rockers as the seller states some does exist.

I have five large speakers in my rear deck. The advantage is that the rain has somewhere to drain when your rear windscreen seal is bad.

Perfect, just remember to pull the rubber plug in the spare wheel well or the rear-end tends to sag.
