" Even a mint 72S is still not worth $79k "
where may I ask, do you get that notion
are you an appraiser??
early S cars in this condition appeal to folks who can weather most economic
adjustments/recessions ect...
what you are describing are cars or items that must be sold as in "a need to sell"
there are many private trading of the best cars and we only hear about it if
someone volunteers info. It is understood and known to some degree that
a car like this may trade for well over $100K privately.
If this car was offeered at EC (European Collectibles) how much do you think would the sticker price be?
This gentleman selling this car has drawn bids up to $40K for real nice T's in the recent past.
This is a ONE year S coupe in a very desirable color and superb condition,
the 72-73 2.4S is at the top of early Pcar target list and investment guides.
It is very deserving of spirited bidding. this seller doesnt NEED to shill it up.
and who buys this without going out to see it themselves?
