I bought it in 1972 while in the USMC for $1,750. About the price of a used Pinto or Vega. It burned a quart of oil every 30 miles, the leather was like dried cardboard and the paint, rubber chrome were trash. I bought it in the UK from a British Colonel who bought it in the Sudan. It now belongs to the Prime Minister of Kuwait. His buyer had seen it at a concours in Pasadena, CA and asked me if I was interested in selling it. I said "maybe" he took a few pics and said that if his client was interested, he'd call me in a week. No PPI. He paid me stupid money for it in cash, as in his representative showed up at my bank with a brief case stuffed with $100 bills.
