Looks like the Barrett Jackson one is the same as the one just sold, same VIN.

It is interesting to see the things that have been done to the car and the resulting price loss of $28,000. I like the wire wheels they added. I think I prefer the black top they added too. For Adventurer convertibles, there are no norms or rules. I have heard that big collectors trade these cars back and forth through the auction process.

that 25k here and there is only 10%. That's to be expected.

by comparison.
