[Roadsters] 70 roadster on ebay

[Robbie Harrison]

I stopped in and looked at the roadster in question a couple months ago at
Napoli Motors in Milford, CT. It looked to me like a very nice driver,
certainly not even close to a "restored to factory condition" car. I think
it would fall into the resto-mod category on the Mecum auction show I watch
on Sunday mornings.

Uh okay..., but I wouldn't put it in the same category as a 67-1/2. I have a
1970 1600, and the first thing I did was to remove the overside rear
reflectors. I think they're butt-ugly and diminish the otherwise clean looks
of the rear.

I'll have to agree about prices, it all depends on who's looking at the time
they are sold. I've seen some nice rides go for a lot less than others that
don't warrant as high a price. Some people put a lot of love (and money) in
their roadsters and practically gave them away.
