I tend to agree also. Perhaps, if the car was more desirable, say the ‘67 400HP car mentioned above, the rare combination of options would work in its favor, price-wise. But not this car.

Well, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen another A/C - radio delete, convertible so there’s a serious case for 1 of 1 status. Just the dash has to be worth a fortune.
