Very nice car, but what is with the window screen jammed in the back window?

Stuck @ 13.5K right now.  I can see this one going to 20K.

15" Bundts look good.

Very interesting....but puzzling. I for one am amazed at the car bringing that much.  A garden variety 450SEL ? It makes me wonder if the buyer thought he was getting a 6.9. No doubt it's a nice low milage car. I guess the surviving window sticker must have been a factor. Take notice in the pic of the driveline of the exhaust pipes leaving the Cats to resonator. They have been very hot for a very long time. The Cat pipe assembly looks new.  Can you say Lean Mixture ?   JMO....JM Sr.

Excellent result. Nice to see some support for prices at this condition. It's also a pandemic used car market so that maybe a factor.
