    I must say they did an outstanding job on the engine cover to clear those air cleaners!

    Best one, is the little door locks thingamajig inside the doors, maybe a little longer and you can hang things on it. I am surprised at what "dealers" are stocking.

    The question is - why would you do that to the car? It seems like it could be a nice car...you could remove all the awful add ons & get it back to stock for say... 10 grand? Does that sound right...lets see door panels, center console, duck tail, driving lights...I think 10 would cover it- maybe 7 if you were careful. I think you'd have a nice car then,,,

    That's quite low in my opinion.
    Don't forget a new engine lid, deck lid, bumpers, rubbers, ends, all bumper mounts, new grille, reworking the front and rear body panels, air filter assembly, etc. You might as well do a complete strip and repaint while you are there, and that's a big can of worms usually.
    I could easily see more than 30 to do the job right.

    Is the $119k asking orice about $30k below market for a standard Dino?

    I seem to notice a trend in Sheehan sales, the initial price comes out and a few short weeks later I get another email about a new price.

    Most of his cars are on consignment. While brokers like Mike want to turn cars as quickly as possible and prefer to price them accordingly, the owners often have their own ideas of how much their cars are worth. Sometimes a car has to sit on the market for a while before reality sets in and they authorize a price reduction.

    Already sold. It seemed too cheap when I saw the email, when I saw the pics, it grimiced too. I wonder where it is going? I would guess back to Europe

    What would you guys rather have this 246GTS or the Ebay 206? I'd probably lean towards the 206 - the GTS is in better condition but if you were gonna spend the big money to correct either of these cars I'd rather have a 206 in the end.

    While I hate all the modifications, that was a fair price. If it takes $30K to put it right, still well bought IMO.

    If the car were mine, it would be a lot less than 10 grand, including making new seats.
