1972 Europa on BaT

[BDA]

Good point, Ted! I wonder if following a nicer Europa might have also depressed the price.

This car was a driver with a 10-foot (or further) body; faded, dull, cracked paint and poorly repainted in areas.  There was surface rust on all the chassis and suspension parts, the exhaust was rusty, dash cracked, glovebox beat-up, no information on the engine health, mismatched old tires, etc.

I paid $11K for my unrestored 72 Europa TC with 5000 original miles. This car had more miles but in some ways a better car than what I bought 3 years ago as mine had been stored in a garage for many years. I would agree with a Ted, the timing was off selling right before Christmas. The buyer got a great deal (even with buyers premium and possible transport). The seller should have made another $5K on this car.

Hoping the buyer shows up on this forum.
