You can tell that this wholesaler (one of the largest classic car wholesalers in the country, no less) doesn’t know much about Europas because he appears to think the turn signal lights are “amber fog lamps.”

I think he’s asking a lot for a non-running car that’s in pretty ratty shape and likely has a bad case of DPO. Maybe he really values the “WOODGRAIN DASH AND CONSOLE ACCENTS.”

If the car was previously sold for $5500, the new price represents a massive mark-up for what appears to be very little input (and, as you noticed, even using the same photographs!)

What are "Console Accents"?

Are they referring to the centre console around the gear change?

Are they referring to the window switches?

Not much mention of the ashtray !!!

It sold thru Ebay for $13K which seems like a big bet that the motor does not need a rebuild and that the frame is not rotten .. there had to be a reason it was "sitting" like so many of these cars.
