My wife gave me her approval to purchase, and the Spring surge in the stock market has provided the cash, but I have some reservations.
I think the car is priced too high. It looks great but is not a true collector car. Any future resale would have to be to someone who appreciates the original owner's vision of the car.
The ad says the car was raced in the '70s, and implies it has been a Garage Queen since - neither one good for a summertime fun driving/cruising car. Apparently the car has had trophy success on both the competition and the Show circuits.
My goal is to own a car for brief cruises and impromtu car shows that is fun to drive. A formerly race ready Sonett may be impratical for cruising, both the Stoplight to Stoplight slow-go of the Woodward Ave Cruise and sunny day 45mph country road cruises.
But the car is local so I expect to give the owner a call.
