Just saw that one, it's sweet looking. It will be interesting to see where it goes. The actual JPS that's on there started high at $32,500, then dropped to $31,500. After dropping to $31.5, he got two offers, then listing expired. Don't know if he finally sold or if so, what offer he accepted.

This guy with an equally nice albeit not an actual JPS is starting low with likely a reserve well into the $20's, maybe higher.

very nice car. 64 later than mine, although mine has more miles on it.
 will be interesting to see how high it goes.
description makes note that as late '74 production, it has gas struts on engine cover. they appear to be identical to mine. this is about the 3rd reference I've read to them being factory installed?

Mine's 4380, build date of March 74, and it came with the gas struts.

This wound up going for $15,300. Maybe a good deal for both buyer/seller. The engine and trans have never received any attention over the years.

I saw that too. also seller lowered reserve.
makes me feel better about mine, seeing how high it went.
now, if the buyer follows through....
