Location: Lower Mainland BC		The advert says 361 Fuel Injection but I don't see that. Looks like a 318 "A" with a 2 bbl. Does seem to have a Torqueflite.

Reserve looks like it will be $100K plus (???)

So many factual errors in the description.

The car probably is lower mileage. Not 12K, though. Judging by the wear on the brake pedal, probably 60K.

Interesting that it has TF and remote mirror, but radio delete.

Judging by what that 57 Dodge CRL D500 convertible went for at the RM Southeby's Hershey auction, this car may sell for around 40K.

5 hrs to go (Oct 13/2023) Sitting at $26.5K. Looks like I was wrong about the reserve. Looks more like $30K now. So it is close.

Location: Lubbock, TX		Sold for 31k, which is about what I'd expect for that car in that condition. The driver-quality Convert market is real soft right now for FL cars. Lots of decent driver Convertibles in that 30-50k range.

Looks like a really nice car.  It is so rare to see those original rubber floor mats!  I think the buyer got a really good deal.
