The ad itself is terrible though, I agree the seller's on *moderate* crack, a car like this needs to be marketed way better in order to realize anything close to $100K. Not to say that it couldn't, but it's gonna take more than a free ad on CL. If this was my car I'd be contacting Excellence or the other P-car mags to have them write a puff piece on my "time capsule".

I disagree. $100k is TOP of the market - the BEST car that you can buy of that vintage. You store it perfectly for the winter and leave it untouched, the way a museum would treat their cars. It's like turning over a vintage bottle of wine to take a picture of it. No, you find other ways.
