Default '78 Euro "kermit" for sale

Found this on the German Ebay. Seems a bit high for the "buy it now" price, but the car looks very very clean! Too bad it isn't a manual with pasha!

BTW, anyone have an idea what shipping would be from Europe to the U.S.?

as for the mention of price being too high. With this color, if you really like it you just buy it, even if you pay 20% more.

Price is not an issue when you find the right car.

Oh yeah, price is too high, but it's in euros, which we can trade for rock candy and sea shells

Works out to $14,370. But that's a Buy It Now, which is frequently a "dream" price. Should go for less, even though it looks really nice. Doesn't even look there's any where on the seats, and the pin stripe upholstery looks to be in great shape.

That has ~50x the mileage compared to the "Real Kermit". Not a fair comparison. Very nice car though, especially for the mileage. BIN is less than 1/2 what Kermit went when last traded IIRC.

Definately a "love it or hate it" color, just like the pinstripe interior. Although I love the color, I'm not crazy about the pinstripe cloth. Pasha interiors are crazy, 1970's wild, and definately an eye-catcher. Pinstripe looks like (to me) the base interior option from a 1983 Chevy Citation!

It's good to see some still out there in this condition, though! If I wasn't already restoring a car, I'd be bidding on this one!

Last time I shipped a car from the US to Europe it was about $1200.
I would guess somewhere between $1200 and $1500.
That does not inclued any import export taxes.

The pascha is very '70s, the pinstripe very '80s. That's how I see it.
