Holy poop!! Look at the Caddy hearse across the street!
Anyway, here is something that’s rare now but was once very common. The question is, does its age and relative desire/uniqueness factor make it unique enough to be interesting?
Additionally, this example brings forth the age old question of modifications and taste. How much is too much? Where is the point of no-return? At what point do you say “this cannot be saved and I wouldn’t want it for half that price?”

Blue paint (it is blue, right?). Blue seat covers. Blue shifter boot. MOMO pedal covers and shift-knob. Some rallycar-like wheels. None of it goes together, none of it makes sense, yet all of it probably involved a good amount of money from the current owner. And then there is the $4200 asking price.
