'00 C70M 53 code auction in DC today

Post by foggydogg »

It just popped up today, they never showed it in inventory until it went on the block in this mornings sale. Pretty unusual for them. Looks like it was donated on the 18th.
(Page link goes away after the sale, so I didn't bother)

Kind of wear-weary, 200k showing, and the cluster is lit up like christmas.

Hammered for $600 plus the fees
Probably worth taking the chance.

Buy it for the manual, the fabled C70 frame brace, and all the possibly usable parts. As usual, I'll say that if it were at Capitol in NH, I'd struggle to talk myself out of it. I wish I could rent a tow truck to get it home, take it to my garage, strip it, and scrap it as soon as possible.

Oh, and take the jeweled headlights! Always. Do their reflectors fade the same as the boring fluted ones? Still, I believe the jeweled side markers are no longer available, headlights may soon follow, so stock up.
