It is a Super Clean Car & Likely Bring Some Big Bucks From a Collector! Would have been a Hell of a Sleeper Back in the Day with a 428 SCJ . Very Curious of Sale Price!
Good Luck to the Seller

I started the pricing at what I thought was very reasonable $19,000 for a quick sale. Nothing but crickets. Auto Trader, ebay, all types of sites. I kept lowering the price and the phone didn't start ringing until it hit the $15,000 area. Even then, no sale. If I had the room i would have bought the car myself. It needed nothing. We finally got a lousy $13k for it and even then it was a tough sale. I felt so bad for the widow but she did understand, plus she was probably tired of me and the entire process. Here is his car at one of the many car shows we attended together. This first one was 2016 outside Asheville. The second right here in Franklin NC in 2017 right before the show got started. That was my C4 at the other end.

I would have thought 'solid' $$$ for a Grande but I personally was quite frustrated selling my late friend's 1972 Grande for his widow a few years back. A heavily optioned 351C car with all the right boxes checked. Outside of the physical aspects, generally a Mach 1. It only had 20,000 miles on it. it was 'like new'.

I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. Because I'd take the '70 over that land barge any day.
