How about this?

Personally, I think he talks about the actual car too little, and the legend of the car too much. Over-describing being a major ebay alert signal!

Still - seems to be attracting a good price.

what a nice example - I don't think I've ever actually seen that paint colour in good condition.

I've seen it once only, but it was faded, chalky & with no clear coat left on it.

Nice!

Why must eBay advertisers ALWAYS USE UPPERCASE rather than mixed case?!  All caps is so much harder to read in great slabs.

I must say, though, that the advertiser is one of the more literate I've seen on eBay; some of them can't spell (or punctuate) their own names!

I thought that using all uppercase letters was called shouting.

Lovely looking car and probably worth shouting about.

Thanks Nathan. I really need a 6.9 in Turkey, with petrol at $3.00 / litre ! Does look nice though. Will be interesting to see what the reserve is. The black one that I posted a couple of weeks ago from the US sold for over $20,000.

That is really a very nice looking example.  Thanks

I think the metallic colours must have looked stunning on the roads back in the 1970's
most cars were acrylic based paints, metallic colours was a new trend, from the late 1960's.
