Looks well-cared for, but the Wailing Gallery are very concerned about...wheel weights.
I want to join just to complain about the parking brake handle.

Just read a review of the Cyan P1800, and they point out one of the few original pieces left on the car is ... the parking brake handle.
I'll post it in the other section.

25,000 views. Pretty impressive for just looking at a bunch of online auctions - but it is big business, after all.

This might be a good yardstick on the Brick market; both are no-reserve.

'68 1800S, pretty rare in dark green (94), 3 pedals, looks to be an honest driver; New England, though, so...

Seller describes it as having the "improved" V6.

Nice looking car, a bit squared-off for its time, I think.

A commenter whined about the wheels, but I like them on an 1800.
