About this car
This triple-black Pagoda (black body, black hardtop, and black soft top) was described by RM Sotheby's as an 'extremely rare' specification when the car was sold at Auburn in 2015. It has its original engine, its original floors, and a documented history that includes an engine refresh costing about $20,000 in 2022. The one caution is in the listing itself: the odometer shows 35,000 miles but is stated to be TMU (true mileage unknown), and the car's own service history already showed 65,318 miles in 1975. Judge it on condition and paperwork, not on the odometer. It is the only Florida dealer car from the nationwide discovery sweep.
What the photos show
- black paint is deep and glossy on every panel, no paint money needed soon
- chrome grille, bumpers and hubcaps shine bright, no re-chroming bill coming
- black leather seats look fresh with no cracking, no reupholster needed
- dash wood, gauges and carpets all look clean and correct, no interior bill coming
- engine bay is very tidy with a polished valve cover and clean injection hardware, no detailing money needed
- trunk is clean with the spare under its cover, no trunk work to budget
- the soft top is only shown folded away, can't judge its fabric, so ask for a top-up photo before paying
- underside is never shown in the photos, can't judge it, so a lift check is still on you
Money: at $139,900 the visible car — paint, cabin, engine bay, trunk — fully backs the ask; only the top fabric and underside remain unverified.
