Wow, that is one beautiful car. Price is just way way up there. Is that normal? I know 98 was the last year, and the paint color must be rare too, but would that put it at 120k? Maybe 75-80k..
Look at the price when it was bought brand new-- 70.5k... nice profit!!!

The Riviera Blue looks so close to Gulf Blue #328, maybe a little more darker.
I like how the service logs are hand written in a journl./ I should start doing that.
Nice find!

He does realize the bid of $120,300 in the first eBay go around was a goof, right? Why not put a BIN for $1,000,000?

it would need black interior to fetch a high number

nice car, but lets face it, the color is only a color.... not like it is a 3.8L or something....

I think this car could see as high as 70-80k because of the miles and vintage.
But somebody really has to want it.

I predict it will sell for $150K.

The 'never seen rain' comment is ridiculous. How does the current owner know what the car was exposed to during the first 12 or 13 years of its life before he picked it up.

Another classic "Taken out for a rare Sunday drive to a car show or cars and coffee".

This guy just loves unsubstantiated hyperbole.

What happened to all the buyers with cash in hand eager to buy the car for $100K+?
