I was joking (sort of). Some people obsess about the “never seen rain”, but if that car was completed during a snowstorm, it got driven out of the factory to be shipped into a snowstorm.
I DD my G50 coupe in “good” weather, including rain but had a truck for winter at the time.
How’s the Targa roof? Leaks, squeaks, etc. If I were a buyer that would concern me more than a snow pic on a sunny day for a car driven only in nice weather.
Good luck!

Roof is really nice was refurbished by Dave Brown a couple years ago. Its only seen nice weather since then and never sat in the sun more than an hour or two. No leaks and I cant think of any squeaks ive heard during driving but the car is far from quiet.

havent posted yet. I have a couple local people interested. It's hard selling cars like this in the winter in the northeast. Luckily it's a nice example and there aren't many in the northeast

Massachusetts, I watch local listings all the time and never see anything "good" pop up. I see the extremes. Ones you wouldnt want to drive on the road that are $$$$$ or ones that look beat and are more $$$ then they probably should be

Default Wait..
If you can wait until Spring or even early summer, do so. Winter in the NE isn't a great time to sell a classic.

If it were me, I'd try to sell it locally as well. It's just easier than dealing with nudnicks all over the world asking you this and that. Plus, you can see the guy, and his money. Pelican, while those guys are very well informed, only represents a small percentage of buyers. And they're picky buyers at that. There are plenty of buyers for your car out there and probably within a hour or two of MA.

Good looking car. Good luck.

Nick

I concur.
The forums are the best places to buy and sell.
