That looks like the Portland guy who's always listing (suspiciously) clean 240s for high dollars on CL. They seem to sit a long time.

Retail Red 'project' car, looks to be fairly well along the way. Might need some wiring voodoo.

Looks like they started with a pretty clean West Coast car.
Lotsa work getting the FI drivetrain installed; claims it "ran when I parked it." I'm unconvinced the electric fan will be able to cool it on its' own, but no A/C may help there.

Other than the juice tranny, it looks pretty presentable.
A bit odd the rehab happened in Europe.

Another 1800S, boy do I miss my '69. I was a Chevy guy until I bought it; the thing ruined my life. Now I have a yard full of the things.

Looks a little odd without the A/C unit hung under the dash.
Not a stock colo(u)r, but pretty presentable combination.

Pretty car.
Sold two years ago for less than $10K; let's see what the goofy used car market has to say.

Seems to be a long-term enthusiast owner.
The yellow one went for $25.250k, and got lots of pretty rude comments about the early bid of $25k.
Some folks sure are funny about other folks money.
