Nice car. I don't see how you get over $100K in a Contemporary even trying to do it right. I'm not saying he didn't, but how? A killer ERA in those days fitted to the "T" with all the right stuff would run you $65K to $70K..Turn key. Maybe he is including the cost of "re doing the engine" as he mentioned.

Even at the height when glass CSX's first came out you could get a "killer" glass CSX for $100K. How do you get there with a Contemporary which started out $20K less from baseline?

I agree. For $40K its a real nice car and a decent buy.
