Can someone please read this cars description and see if you can determine why this car is so much. I think the answer lies somewhere near the bottom but I'm not certain. Thank you in advance :)http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1507261475.PNG

I've read that rubbish before. I think there may even be a thread about it. Iirc it was previously on CL. I dunno.

Not at that price, but it looks like a very nice, clean car.

The price is high because the car is on consignment. So you have an owner who thinks the car is worth more than it's worth, and you tack 20% on top of that for the consignment house and you take an absurd price and put a cherry on top of it. The consignment house doesn't care because it looks great on their showroom floor and the owner doesn't care because he probably doesn't want to sell it that bad.

What a bunch of hot air.

What dealer (other than one in SF) would post this nonsense description

Was anything in that description relevant to the car?

Its provenance, dude. The car's story matters. Haha

Price seems high, but, can you find another 74-75 in yellow (or lime green or Mexico blue, for that matter), that is in this condition and original?

I'm partial to the 74-75 cars and the bright colors. They seem rarer than long hoods, and no smog in California (which holds prices of 76-77 down). What would a 73S in the same condition cost? $200k?

The price although high isn't as funny as the description. I would say its still $20k over priced minimally. I think you are aware that a 74-75s is less horsepower than a 73s by a good 25hp. Its never a good thing when the horsepower goes down as the year goes up. Not to mention its a whole new face from the 73. With all of that said i'm super partial to brightly colored middies as well hence why i read the stupid description lol
